    I believe (at least at this time) that the freezing is very limited. I have surfed the net and not seeing the major freezing as once before. I do have a another question please. In my start up tool bar I would like to not have superantispyware and drivermax start up and not start up immediately. I'd like to start them up myself but not automatically, how can I change to that. Thank you:)

    You can disable those with Ccleaner and then reboot the only thing that you need starting up with windows is your AV

    Hi Malnutrition. I did experience some freezing today but it's not nearly as bad as before. I'm still doing my updates although and cleaning so I expect things will slowly start to improve. :) This has truly spared me from having to purchase a "new" machine which on a Student's "income" won't be easy at all.

    Alright IDK I am left clueless right now. The freezing is back but at this moment I am running AVG anti-virus scan and from time to time it's trying to block certain websites (I don't venture into dangerous sites or anything). I ran the ccleaner today it did it's job, I didn't like comodo anti-virus so i deleted it and got AVG today. UGH I would just like to use my computer without freezing all the time. :(

    Shame you didnt like comodo. Malnutrition covered a mass ammount in this thread and I don't see much that could be offered. Damn shame too it back to normal lockouts. Hmm, You could try uninstalling flash temporary http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html and see that if that makes any difference. I doubt it will but thats all about I can think of.

    Ok here is info on the all in one tool
    http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

    I have used it on my machine personally and have suggested it many times it ususally works!

    As far as creating a new profile it is possible that sometimes profiles jusr become corrupt and are beyond repair.
    So create one and see how that goes.

    You can also try an online scan with eset and see how that goes.

    Please run a free online scan with the ESET Online Scanner
    • Disable your antivirus program
    • Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use
    • Click Start
    • Accept any security warnings from your browser.
    • Check Scan archives
    • Click Start
    • ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
