Please help with my computer?

Ever since I downloaded "Norton 360 (antivirus)", everytime I scan all the website I have in my "favorites" gets deleted. It still says (pretend Yahoo! or Google) when I click on it a window pops out and says "The Target " " of this Internet Shortcut is not valid. Go to the Internet Shortcut property sheet and make sure the target is correct." But if I don't scan and add in the websites to my "favorite" it works, but after scaning it just gets deleted. Please help!

After about 10 min of normal running my computer slows down, how can I fix it?

After about 10 min of normal running my computer slows down exponentially, and I can't do anything at all. At that point it will take +5 minutes to close a window. In safe mode my computer runs fine, and I don't get this problem at all. I've run an updated Norton-Antivirus full system scan, as well as a Microsoft Defender system scan, both came up with nothing. P4 2.4 Ghz, 512 Ram, XP Pro SP2, Radeon 9600. I'm trying to avoid having to format my hard drive. What is this and/or how can I fix it?

Where could i find something like this?

Im looking for a cd i can buy that I can run an antivirus and antispyware scan from on a PC. I need this for a PC that does not have any security tools. What I want to do is run the scan from the cd and get rid of the crap on the PC already, then I plan to install norton afterwards. I would install norton right now, but its not letting me do this, so i thought i might give this a try. Any ideas on where I could get something like this?

Where could i find something like this?norton

You can download AVG anti-virus from http://www.grisoft.com and AVG anti-spyware from http://www.ewido.net

Where could i find something like this?spyware remover

Run both of these on-line scans and let them remove what they find. Both are free and excellent at detecting and removing malware free of charge. There is no need to un-install your current protections before using these.

1. Scan for virus, worms etc. and remove (free online scan, no download) with BitDefender's Online Scanner

http://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/

2. Scan for trojans and spyware and remove (free online scan, no download) with Ewido Online Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus.

If in case you do need to restore your computer be sure to back all your files to CDs, thry the following and if this dont work you can try a simple system restore;

Download and update the avg antivirus and download the spyware doctor below the shut your computer down and restart it and tap the F-8 key repeatedly while the system starts up and select safe mode and run the avg and the spyware doctor while in safe mode, This will catch it so you can remove it,

This is very good tool and I recommend it to keep your pc in good running condition,

My computer is beyond slow..?

i scanned my computer with adaware se. pc doctor. spybot s%26d, stinger, etrust antivirus (%26 online norton scan), crap clean, and also a registry fix program called winaso 2.8.

fixed alot of registry errors, removed tons of malware, but no viruses came up. uninstalled alot of software and used msconfig to fix the startup..but my computer is still slow (hp dv500 notebook). i ran some benchmarks but still slow..dont know what else to do?, free memory is around 150mb out of 512

it stays at about 95%-100% usage when i bring up the windows task manager?

any idea why..

thanks for the help

Knowing the names of the processes hogging your CPU time would be of great help.

Ciao! :)

It may be that a few of your 6 antivirus/antispyware programs are getting into a conflict somewhere. Just disable random firewalls and scanners until you figure out which ones are causing the problem.

If all else fails, use System Restore to go back to a date before this lag problem appeared.
look at your processes in the task manager...look for something sucking cpu usage...or you might want to upgrade ram..or do a disk defragment...or disk celanup...(most of those free clean up programs usually just slow your computer down)
Is it svchost.exe causing it because if it is try disabling windows automatic updates. A friend had that type of issue. If that isn't it then refformatt and reinstall windows if you can.

Can you use system restore in these situations?

I'm kind of a computer newby so I appologise if this is a stupid question for you techies out there.

Senerio 1

On day 1, I did a complete thorough antivirus and spyware scan check and removed all viruses, spyware, worms, etc on my computer. My computer is now "clean". I create a system restore point.

On day 2, after surfing on the net, for some odd reason, a large number of virus got installed into my computer. Instead of the using conventional remedy of running my antivirus program to remove to viruses, can I use system restore to go back to day 1 when my computer was originally "clean". Would that remove the virus that got installed on day 2?

Senerio 2.

On day 1 I ran a registery cleaning program to optimize my system. After doing so I created a system restore point. On day 2, I found for some odd reasons, my computer contained critical registry errors. Instead of running my registry cleaning program again, can I simply system restore to day 1. Would that fix the registry errors

Usually the computer makes a restore point for itself.

but if u have made your own backup and it is not infected yes it will do the trick.

if that is some random generic registry cleaner it could have messed it up in the first place, and i dont think that restore would fix eighter. id do a virus scan , then a disk check. like the thing that comes up when you improperly shut your pc down.
