Default [Answered] super slow pc

i got my pc about 3 years ago and i used to be able to run pc games pretty fast but since i was new to using the pc i really didnt know anything about spywear and virus. and i guess i got some kind of virus that didnt let my pc boot up so i had to do a system restore after i did it my pc ran very slow i couldnt play none of my old pc games becasue the games would lag so much it looked like a slide show and i would put the game on the lowest quality.could some one pls tell how i can fix this or is my pc messed up for good.

Hi,

Sounds like your pc could do with some tlc

1) Virus check it: http://www.pchelpforum.com/forum/ind...pic,131.0.html
2) Spyware check it: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...areInstall.exe
and
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
3) Clean up any other crud: http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.php
4) Get the latest video drivers for your graphics card (post again if you need help with this)

Do all that and see what happens.

Wow, that is some collection you have there.

Firstly I recommend you download the w32.Blaster.worm removal tool from here.
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...r/FixBlast.exe

There is no removal tool for the W32.Randex.gen so the best thing to do would be to download AVG and update it, then boot into safe mode and run a full system scan from there.

Once you have scanned and hopefully removed the viruses then it would be a good idea to remove all that spyware you have, download and run this program.
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...areInstall.exe

The best way to find out about your graphics card would be to run this tool.
