You guys have helped me many times before and I appreciate it ! I have a 7 yr old HP that has become unbelievably SLOW.
Could you help m find out what going on ? Malware, Virus, etc ?

model of computer and any spec info of any upgrades you have done to its hardware? Do you have the system recovery media available if we determine its best to reload fresh?Define slow - EXACTLY what is slow?I know slow is a relative term, but MUCH slower, especially when booting up then it ever was. AMD PHENOM II X4 830 processor 2.8GHZ
RAM 8 GB
No changes to computer or hardware since ive had it.
Windows 10 OS
No i don't have system recovery media.

So your biggest issue is that it's slow to boot? That's a BIG difference from the system being slow.

Try a clean boot and see how long it takes.Takes almost 4 mins And how long with a normal boot? BTW, my Dell laptop probably takes 4 or 5 minutes to boot. Once it's up and running it's great. I don't sit and watch it boot That's what coffee is for...Quote from: BuyDell on December 09, 2018, 08:03:07 AM
