super slow computer

[Gord]

Hi I did post but can't find it so I am reposting. My system is a few years
old and I have been on here before to get it cleaned up. Well I'm back. Until
last week it was working fine, but now it is so slow. I have run ccleaner and
my avg programs but nothing is working. Any help would be appreciated.

Seeing as you provided no information at all that might point to a cause
for your problem, you're probably looking for generic tips. Start here:

Do you mean that CCleaner doesn't work at all or it doesn't find anything to
delete?
Do you mean that AVG doesn't work or doesn't find any problem(s)?

Perhaps your cpu is overheating and going into 'survival mode' , if it is an
Intel cpu.
Check your cpu fan and heatsink.
If the above is OK.

If you can run some programs try Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) in the
free version.
Also try SuperAntiSpyware (SAS) in the free version.
For both programs, download, install, update and then run each one
seperately.

PS:Only dl the above two programs from their home page. Pay careful
attention to the spelling.

I just found your original post on 21Oct2009 and it had a lot of good
suggestions.
Try looking for it again.

Hi "Gord",
