Hey guys I've checked through some of the tuts and what-not on this forum and still can't find a way to get me out of trouble..
i turned my computer on yesterday (23rd September) and there was an automatic update. Ever since the update my computer has been extremely slow (will take several minutes to open firefox -or anything for that matter). I booted safe mode and it's running fine. I opened up msconfig and did a clean boot but the problem was still there.
It's a fairly new build and I was stupid and forgot to get a virus protection :confused: i can't install it in safe mode either..

Can anyone help?
-cheers

Now that is great. Now that we know your computer is clean try going back to a restore point before the auto updates. Remember to look for any program that has a auto update including Windows. If all goes well with your restore point it's time to install MSE and update it. We need this to keep your computer safe while on line.

Please get back with your results. There/their is more things you can do to speed things up a little. It's a step at a time thing.

Recopy and paste the script.
