system resources keep shrinking
Last Friday I got the Netsky virus on my computer. I went
to Symantec and did what was advised but since then my computer has been running really slow and the System icon shows system resources to be 41% free. When I delete cookies and temp. Internet files and restart, the Resources go up to 81% free but as soon as I go on the internet to get email it just slows down and the resources go back down too. It takes a very long time to go to any dites on the internet too. When I run a virus scan the computer shows no viruses so I don't know what's making the computer run so slow. Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've also put the System restore down to the lowest level. Thanks for any help. |

Have you considered a spyware/adware scanner? Most antivirus programs don't
do a good job - or ANY job - of removing such pests. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ - Get AdAware, install it, update it, then start cleaning. See if that helps. -- Richard G.
