Help Fix my pc

Man, before i reformat for the 2nd time this summer, i wanna c if anyone can help me. Usually i can fix it but this time mmMMmm. Basically my computer link most.. has slown down, Dramitically. I have panda titanium antivirus checker updated, ran spydoctor, Ad-aware, and some of spy sweeper (for some reason that wants to take 46hrs:eek: )

Right now im running windows defender and seeing what its gonna do

Ive defraged stopped some programs booting up at start up (the few i did have)

Virus checked like 4 times found like 3000 items:eek: (said it got rid of em, almost all were cookies)

thing is, when i load diagnostic startup in -run -msconfig it moves fast, however it is diagnostic and MOST things are not activated.

*sigh* soooooo i opened task manager and saw what was slowing my comp down, and i was shocked to see that it was panda, PavPrSrv.exe rather, which is apart of panda. Never had problems with it before and i kno antivirus checkers can take memory but DAMN 99%, tried to close it and it wont let me.

Any suggestions?

Wow... :confused:

I use AVG Free and SpyBot and I've *never* had any serious problems with spyware or viruses, maybe you could try them?

It sounds like your HD is a peice of virus ridden garbage. I would take everthing you want to save off and put it on some CD's or something, then wipe your HD clean. Thats always the best way to do it.

Panda is garbage, and that's probably the problem. Get rid of it and see if it helps.

The fastets way is to rip your HD out of your computer and get a new one.

That's one of the reason I want a external HDD....At least it wont get virus that easily considering what I'll put in....It wont be infected that easily...

How do you figure? An exteral Hard Drive can be infected just as easily as a Internal . . .

It has it's own firewall and protection. It wont be direcly influenced by the performance of your computer. Since..

example you have 2 HD in your computer. Big possibility that the 2nd will get infected by virus if you open it while being infected, while opening your Exteral HDD, it wont be easily to affect it with a virus.

Well...I dont think They didn't creat External HDD for nothing but being handy here and there.

The key information is missing,
What changes are there on the computer, and where did you get it?

I changed my mind, I thought xbox's being smashed up the second they were bought was stupid, but that just made my day.

Since when did brand new hardrives, external or internal come with ANYTHING installed on them?

If you are buying a brand new HDD with antivirus and other protection already installed, you are being ripped off. What happens when I go out and buy a HDD for my linux box and get home to find they have installed some crappy windows anti virus on it? They get a foot up there *** thats what.
