defraging

When I go to defrag my h/drive, it is quick,and it
doesn`t clear all the data,like it should.I watch and see
the screen data erase the bad data,but it leaves 6 rows of
bad data on screen. The ledgend says "these will not be
moved". My p/c is running a lot slower than it used to..
Any help on this ,would be greatly appreciated.

Defrag does not erase any data, good or bad. It rearranges files that are
fragmented into pieces. Some files cannot be moved--that's normal. Define
a slow PC--slow booting (how long), slow loading programs (which ones), slow
navigating in Explorer, etc? How much ram is installed, what CPU, etc?

Here are some things to start with:

Do a full scan with an up to date anti virus program followed by a spyware
hunt:

Spyware/scumware/adware are causing numerous system problems. I recommend
you download and use the following programs and consider removing everything
these programs identify. Be aware that there are frequent updates to these
programs and you need to check for them before every use.
