Someone please help me. My computers messed up. It worked
fine when I first got it, but now there's a lot of things
wrong with it. My computer's twice as slow now, programs
keep freezing, my cable internet now seems like a 56K.
No, it's not viruses. I used norton antivirus 2000 to
keep viruses away. I do a full scan every other day.
Please help me. I can't take this anymore. I would really
appreciate it if you reply. If possible please email me.
Thank you for your time.
 
Chris;
Run an updated virus scan.
Or Scan for Viruses online:

Run Disk Cleanup checking all boxes except "Compress old files"
Run Defrag.
If you have file sharing software such as Kazaa, disable it.
Check this link:

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:

This may apply if you recently installed Windows XP Service Pack 1:
