    Funny thing I had avast and major freezing still. Today I deleted avast and downloaded comodo (which I'm not liking that well) and still freezing. UGH next to try would be avira. One question as well with the DriverMax when i download I am asked if I want to create a system restore is that recommended or not? Thank you.

    The system restore is un-needed because you can always roll back the drivers if anything goes south.But just continue with everything except changing the AV and see how it goes.

    I have a question regarding these downloads....CCleaner, Speccy & Unknown Device should I delete them or keep them now? Also after running all my updates on DriverMax should I also keep that program? And lastly regarding SuperAntiSpyware, I have Malwarebytes as well so should I keep both or delete one of those? Thank You again.

    Keep Ccleaner and run the cleaner once a day.
    Speccy and unknown device id can go
    Keep drivermax and update 2 of your drivers a day until all are updated.
    Keep super antispyware and update and do a quick scan with it once every two weeks and do the same with malwarebytes.

    Use Ccleaner to disable drivermax and Superantispyware from startup and reboot.


    You can set Ccleaner to run with windows.See below.

    Yes but not as bad. I have to reboot my machine now after running the superantispyware maybe it will change when I get back on. It found numerous cookies 485 of them.

    Ok after the reboot then try the checkdisk and if that does not help then create a new profile,see how the new profile does.

    Open notepad and copy and paste the below into note pad and name it newprofile.bat

    @echo off
    net user newuser/add /expires:never /passwordreq:no
    net localgroup “Administrators” /add new user

    Save it to your desktop right click run as admin(xp users double click).Then reboot your machine.Then you will have a new account named newuser

    If the new profile does not help then delete and try the below.
    Download the windows all in one repair tool
    http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

    Run it with all boxes checked.Just allow it to create a restore point prior to running.Then reboot.

    It's actually doing better now there is still some slight freezing left when I was surfing the net. But when my computer was starting up I had some major freezing but it maybe because of the different programs running. I have yet to finish all the drivermax updates though so maybe that will help as well later. So the new account will happen when I start up my computer again after rebooting?
