My computer has started acting weird lately and I don't really know why. I
need to restart it quite often after only using a few programs because it
either freezes or is so ungodly slow, that I can't stand it. It sometimes
takes 5 minutes to open up a program. Also when this slowdown happens, I
can't use the internet either, or no e-mail will go out or come in. I have
DSL as my internet also. I ran a spyware scan, and nothing showed up except
for some spyware cookies, which I deleted. My antivirus software is up to
date and I run Norton's firewall. I have deleted my temp internet files as
well. Yesterday I did a chkdsk and defrag. So, I really don't know what else
to try except maybe a system restore to an earlier date. Do you think I
should do this? And if I do choose this option, will everything that I have
installed or uninstalled be gone? I am asking this because I just renewed my
antivirus and firewall update program a couple of days ago. And there are
probaly alot of other things I did that I just don't remember. One really
weird thing I do know is that I did not start having this problem until I
made my recovery Dvd's about a week ago. I don't know if this has anything to
do with it, or why it would, but maybe the timing is just a coinencidence.
So, if anyone has a suggestion for me, I would appreciate it.
Thank-you,
