    Hi there, I am running a Dell 2.6 GHz computer, further details found in the dx diag attached. I haven't used it for a good 2 weeks but now I started it up and everything is running impossibly slow. Lots of programs like IE and other browsers close after I start them up. I downloaded Spyware Doctor but it didn't find much.
    I've also scanned my computer with hijackthis. I think I may have some registry errors or some sort that decrease the speed of my computer.

    Thank You if you can help.

    I am sorry, I just scanned through the sticky. I also

    scanned my computer with ad aware which only found cookies.
    My Spybot freezes when it tries to update. I tried several

    servers but none of them will work.
    I just tried to scan my computer with norton antivirus 2005

    which I have installed and it's all running slower than

    before. It was sort of stuck around 90115th file.
    There are no unknown programs in the ad/remove list;
    I have run hijack this before but I followed the steps

    listed in the thread anyway. I am scanning my computer with

    Panda online now and will edit my post when I get the scan
    results

    Thank You,
    Nick.
