Yes i disabled all in both, hid the services and applied. Then restarted.

Just use the Snipping Tool to capture screen shots, or just use paint, then add them to your reply using the paperclip.

Carry on

I originally did that in safe mode because my computer wasnt responding. After double checking in a regular bootup, i noticed that some others werent disabled. I disabled them, hid all ms services and i am going to reboot now

 

[gregrocker]

Can you install Team Viewer now?

 

[TechN00b]

I was having the same issue, im currently rebooting. I will report back after i reboot and try again.

 

[gregrocker]

There is a portable Teamviewer download that doesn't need installing but will just run from it's .exe. Scroll down the Download page to try it. Free TeamViewer Download for Windows

My computer is still being extremely slow :/

 

[gregrocker]

Is this the original factory install, or have you done a Clean Reinstall Windows 7 yet?

 

[TechN00b]

I dont think ive done that...?

 

[gregrocker]

Read over the steps to see if it's something you want to do. It will give you the best possible install of Win7 you can have if you follow the steps carefully.

 

[TechN00b]

If i just say screw it and reset to factory defaults, will that fix it? Im about to just up and sell this thing and buy a new one.

 

[gregrocker]

You can reset to defaults but that is still an inferior install. After running Recovery I would Clean Up Factory Bloatware
to try to regain some performance lost to the bloatware.

Too bad you couldn't install TeamViewer because I had time tonight to go over your install and would most likely have discovered the problem.

 

[TechN00b]

Its fine. I hate malware dude. Annoying af but its all good. This computer is like 6 years old.

 

[TechN00b]

So resetting to factory default will fix this right? I dont want to reset to factory if i will still have the same issue

 

[gregrocker]

If the problem isn't hardware then resetting to factory condition should make it better. But factory recovery can fail, which is why I would have a backup plan to do a Clean Reinstall Windows 7.

I didn't see that you had any bad infection, if Malwarebytes found nothing and SAS only found tracking cookies. It's more likely a corrupted factory install that needs to be reset. Even better would be to do the Clean Reinstall for best performance.

How old your PC is has little bearing on performance. What matters is that it has a perfect install that is well maintained, which is what you'll have if you do the Clean Reinstall Windows 7.

Im probably being stupid but i cant follow whats being said in that. I dont understand whats meant by iso, etc.
