Use CCleaner to get rid of all the junk files on your PC. Go to CCleaner > Tool > Startup and disable all unnecessary programs running at Startup. Defrag the harddrive. Restart in Safe mode and run antivirus and antimalware apps. Restart normally. How is it now?

Hi louisboy6

After doing what Peshtigo said, and you still have that problem, please follow these instructions:

Please download the HijackThis zip file. Save it onto a convenient place in your computer, and then unzip the file.

Rename HijackThis(.exe) to scanner(.exe).

Next, run scanner(.exe). A window will pop up.

? Click on the button which says Main Menu, then Do a system scan and save a logfile.
? Please wait for the scan to be completed.
? After the scan has completed, a text window will pop up. Please post the contents of this window here.

This will also be located at hijackthis(.txt) in the same folder that HijackThis was originally saved.

NOTE:: Do not fix anything using HijackThis, as this may also damage legitimate components of your computer.

Best Regards :D

To be or not to be; thats a dumb question.
