My computer is getting slower and slower - it takes about 10 minutes to open
Internet explorer after switchng on. The hard drive sounds as if it is
ticking away non-stop. It's got gradually worse and worse over the last six
weeks. My computer is a Philips 76.33 GB pentium 4 CPU 3.06 GHz 224 MB RAM.
I have BT Yahoo Broadband. I have AVG virus protector, Spyware Nuker, PC
Pitstop Tune up and Exterminate, Windows Firewall switched on, pop up blocker
on and I recently bought Winfixer 2006, which I think may have worsened the
problems. When I run Spyware Nuker it lists loads of spyware which it tells
me it will remove but the next time I check half of it is still on there; the
same happens with my virus remover. There is something stuck in the registry
under HKEY_LOCAL_\Machine\SOFTWARE\Altnet which I can't seem to delete by
any means. I'm very confused - is the problem spyware, adware or viruses?
Is there somewhere I can get remote help that is reliable and safe? I would
be grateful for any advice. Lesley
