My computer seems to be running really slow and I’m worried I might have a virus or something on my computer. I keep getting little pop ups every now and again too but my current virus checker does not pick anything up. I’ve heard of ‘Hijack This’ but I’m unsure as to what it is and how to work it?

Best advice is to get professional help.If you handle things that you are not sure about,it can worser aggrevate the exsisting trouble.So I suggest you call a service person so that you can minimise risk of spending more incase you do something and cause your system to blow completely.Its better to spend less than doing unwanted matters and later spend more.

i dont think there is any need of calling a service person. this is a very small problem and can be solved very easily. i am sure formatting your PC will solve your problem. else all depend on you

It was positive your computer was infected by spyware/adware, If you are not advanced in using hijackthis you can get anti spyware/adware from downloads.com , once you scan it and if it was not fixed yet you can use hijackthis and delete something strange, before you do that please backup first on hijakthis. Hope this help you.

i am not sure that the problem is with your hardware or software. if the problem is with your hardware then i cant solve it. but yes if the problem is with the software then there are a lot of solution for your problem. there may be some virus or spywares which slow down your computer and may corrupt your windows. i would suggest you to quickly install some good anti-virus softwares and spyware remover so that problem does not persist. if still the problem is not solved then you can go for formatting your PC and install a fresh windows but do remember to backup your important data

oh, Download a good antispy software from download.com and install AVG anti virus. I think AVG is the best antivirus. For antispy you can use yahoo toolbar. It have a powerfull antispy of Norton.

what you need to do is provide the kind people her with more information. what are the pop ups of? what computer are you running and how much free hard drive space do you have? also what virus checker are you currently running? i personally have my nod32 virus scanner and everything running in the background and i perform regular scans. your virus checker could be set up so that it only mildly gets involved from the background and so it is left upto you to perform reguar system scans and checks. also i run adaware 6SE to check for any adware that has infected my system, this could be the cause of what makes your pc slow down. also it could be bots that have infected your system. i am assuming you are running a copy of windows because malicous solftware isnt all that common on other platforms yet. i suggest also getting ahold of a copy of spybot search and destroy, which will immunize your system against possible future threats and clean out the bots that have infected your computer. good luck with it all, and just remember to be carefull with what you are searching for or downloading online. khris
