Greetings!

I hope that someone can assist me. I have a Dell Dimension 2400, 2.4 processor, 256 meg of ram running xp pro. Around two months ago everything started slowing down. It has digressed to a slow crawl. I have ran all of the suggested spyware programs on the list, and I am attaching my Hijack This log from today. I would be deeply grateful for any assistance you may be able to offer.
Thanks!
Rick

There is nothing in your log causing a slowdown. You do have a lot of programs running and minimal memory.

Try cleaning all the temp files and folders, run chkdsk and defrag.


A very important step to cleaning out adware or a virus is to clear temporary files.

Double Click My Computer (WinXP: Navigate to Start --->My Computer)

You will see an icon representing your harddrive (most likely C: Drive) Right Click on the hard drive icon and click Properties at the
bottom of the fly out window. One the very first tab (General) you will see a button labeled "Disk Cleanup"...click that button.
Make sure the following are checked:
Downloaded Program Files
Temporary Internet Files and
Recycle Bin

Click OK and Disk Cleanup will delete those files for you.


It would also be a good idea to clear your Internet Cookies.
These directions are for Internet Explorer.
Click Tools along the top of Internet Explorer and choose Internet Options
On the General Tab press Delete Cookies.

Your temporary files are now cleared.
Perform this action periodically to keep your computer running at peak performance
