Well as the title says this computer is running quite slow. Now I am taking into account the lack of ram and the fact that its old but I cant see why it would be so slow. Start up and Shut down are also very slow.

I have virus scanned it with Avast, and used the scan on Spyware Search and Destroy and Ad Aware SE. I have also cleaned with SmitFraudFix. Now i'm not sure if there is something wrong but i know there are ways to speed up the shutdown..

Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Spenright

You have no active antivirus running . . .

Hi, I've moved your post to the Security Forum.

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.

• Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
• Click the Scan for Vundo button.
• Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
• You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
• Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
• When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.
• Turn your computer back on.
• Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.
