Forum Rules

When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.


If you have not received help after three days, please post a link to your topic HERE.

Computer runs slowly (off and on).
I will hear clicking from the tower like something is running or updating.
OS System is Windows XP. I have McAfee Special Edition from AOL, I run Spybot and AdAware scans frequently.
Also have run CCleaner.
I used your Startup List to disable several things that were listed in Startup.
Sometimes computer hangs-up while on the internet. Will get "blank website" not responding.
If typing in Google search field, I finish and then watch the letters slowly fill in.
