slow computer

Anytime you install any software that need to run all the time, it will have an impact on PC performance. Some programs can have more of an effect than others. Your PC will run much faster without protection. But without protection you personal security could be compromised and you could be spending all of your time in a forum like this removing malware everyday. You need to protect your PC and performance is a price you pay. Your PC is a little on the slow side by todays standards but a bigger issue is the RAM. 512MB is too little. 1GB is the absolute minimum you should really have for Windows XP.

Did you uninstall the CounterSpy trial program after finishing your last cleanup. I saw it in your last MGlogs.zip file. If not, you need to do this since it will slow you down and will comflict with Comodo. Also the CounterSpy we have you install is only a trial that expires.

Also I recommend uninstalling Ad-Aware 2007 since it offers no protection and it is a resource hog.

Let me know how things are working after doing the above. Also attach a new MGlogs.zip file (you will have to download and run MGtools.exe again if you deleted all of it as was instructed). You had other unnecessary processes running they probably can be removed. All of this could help your system run better with the 512MB of RAM.

 

To address your slow PC issues, consider the below. Please note that none of this is malware related.

What is the below and do you really need it? Thinks like this do affect performance.
