You've probably already seen them.
Seriously, I have been having trouble with my lap top down loading real slow and freezing.
I have security software on it. I thought it was a Malware thing. So, I purchased Malwarebytes and ran a scan. It found nothing.
Any ideas?
I'm going through lap tops like crazy. 4 in the last 3 years.
Damn! I haven't a clue sorry, but can I see them anyway lol xx I hope you get it sorted xx
A lot of my friends who use Time-Warner as an ISP have mentioned that during certain times of the day, load-times are glacially slow, mostly during evening hours. Try connecting through a different internet provider (like a friend's DSL) and see if the problem recurs through their connection.
SP is probably onto the problem! I'm just trying desperately to see your boobs! lol
I work in this field, so I will send you some things via PM to try. In short, most cases of slowness like you are describing usually turn out to be something installed on your computer, it could be spyware, adware, maleware, virus, trojans or just too many helper apps. It seems every company wants to insall a toolbar on your system or some other helper app. I never let any of that kind of stuff get installed on my systems. Of course, some software doesn't give you the choice, so I usually go back to my installed programs and remove all the extra junk that gets put on.
Anyway, I will send you a PM with some things you can try. No boob show required for help. : )
Get a MacBook next time, Windows sucks
Yes, Serene Prodigy has the right idea. These complications can usually be solved via our task manager window, which can also be opened by right-clicking the taskbar at the bottom of your desktop screen and then left-clicking "task manager".
You'll need the second tab in, called "processes". This gives us an overview of applications running on our machine. The column entitled "mem usage" gives us overview of how much RAM each application is using.
Take a look at the column entitled "CPU". This shows us a percentage of how much processor speed each app is using. With everything else closed, the "system idle" column should be using 99% of your processor power. Any other app using a significant percentage of processor capacity could be the cause of the problem.
I have three machines at home -- 1 running XP and 2 running Windows 7 -- and on all three machines, I have, at one time or another, encountered the problem of system lag and unknown sources eating up processor capacity, and every time the same program has been the cause.
It's a little bugger called "svchost" and it actually uses 99% of your processor capacity, leaving the machine unusable. After doing a little research, I found that this process is actually windows automatic update constantly scanning the web for updates and damn near disabling the machine. I solved the problem by ending the process, switching off automatic updates via my Windows Security Centre and restarting the machine.
I would be interested to hear from anybody else who has had this issue arise. Like I said, for me, three different machines and all have experienced this same problem.
I forgot to mention that you'll need to click the box called "show processes from all users" in your task manager window. I think this is only necessary if you have multiple users set up on the OS. This will allow you access to all processes running on your machine at that given time.
