Solve : Anti-Virus Problem and Computer Suddenly running about 10 times slow?

Answer»

It still loads really slow, but the Personal Firewall problem is fixed again.You might want to Defrag the computer. There may be a lot of fragmented sections on the drive after cleaning the malware.

You can use the built in Windows Defrag or a faster FREE program. Defraggler is very EFFECTIVE and easy to use. Be sure to clean out temp files and RESTART the computer just before using this.That seems to have fixed most of the problem. Still loads kind of slow, but the sound issues seem to be fixed and the load times of much more tolerable.Try Dial-a-FIX. Other than that I'm not sure what's going on.

Download Dial-a-Fix by djlizard, save it to the desktop then extract it to it's own folder.

  • Open the folder and run Dial-a-fix.exe
  • 2 windows will open. Close the ONE in the background labeled Restrictive Policies
  • Check the box in section 1, Empty temp folders.
  • Check the box in section 2, Fix Windows Installer.
  • Check the box in section 3, Fix Windows Update.
  • Check the box in section 4, labeled SSL/HTTPS/Cryptography. The 4 boxes under it should be pre-checked
  • Check all boxes in section 5, labeled Registration Center.
  • Click Go
  • OK any error messages if received, but write them down and post them here.
  • Restart the computer when done.
Dial-a-Fix didn't really solve anything. The sound problem has just worsened and affects all sound. It takes the computer about 10 minutes to load and 10 minutes to start-up.

I figured out what the problem with the Personal Firewall is. Mozilla Firefox and TREND Micro do not agree with each other for what ever reason and by having Mozilla on the computer, Trend Micro disables the Personal Firewall. I do not know why. I do know that I need Mozilla for a class I'm taking.
