I have a huge problem with my computer; low Virtual Memory & Spywa

[Guest]

I don't know what's wrong with my computer.
I think it might be that recently I downloaded this free thing off the
Internet fora promotion.
Since then, I believe, my computer has been slow, and freezing up.

I removed the programs and I aslo ran a Norton Antivirus full system scan
and I have an Adaware spyware scan which I also conducted; they resulted
without any risks found.

Currently, my computer is really slow and evey now and then a pop up bubble
in the bottom right of my toolbar says that Windows Virtual Memory is low. I
also receive strange pop ups about my computer being infected, and for me to
download some sort of Spyware software and this donload box pops up which I
just close. We never get pop ups and now it seems to occur frequently.

I am really worried because I don't know what's wrog and how to fix it. If
anyone is able to help I would be so thankful!
It's really disrupting my computer.
Thank you in advance!

Oh, thank you for your help! I'll try that out now!
But what if the program I downloaded wasn't the cause?
Don't worry. I'll try it out. Let's jut hope I haven't installed any other
programs!
Thanks again! This is killing my life.

Spyware won't cause some of the problems you are experiencing. For these
other problems try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the
Performance Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and
the Peak?

How much RAM memory? Right click on the My Computer icon on your Desktop
and select Properties any you will find the information on the General
tab.

How large is your hard disk and how much free space. Right click on your
C drive in Windows Explorer and select Properties to get this
information.

Do you leave the computer on 24/7?

How about no!

Can Gerry please come back to me?

Anyone else open to suggestions?

 

[Gerry]

Judging by the Total and Peak figures you have provided you are runing
something requiring a fair amount of memory but then you have 1.49 gb of
RAM, which is more than installed on many computers. Your free disk
space is reasonable.

What are your setting(s) for virtual memory? Right click on your My
Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Performance Settings, Advanced, Change.

What programmes do you run regularly?

What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy.

Probably, but your problem with costly advertising obviously has no
solution..:/
