Answer» IM running xp, have intel core 2 quad q9400, 423 gig of free space on hard drive, 3.25 gig of ram.....when im on internet and have multiple windows open system slows down......even lows down with a couple windows open and not even on the internet but more noticable when on the web....sometimes the performance window in task manager will show anywhere from 60 - 88% across all 4 processors...... i'm not sure what is going on, does anyone have INFO? thanksI would run malwarebytes, ad-aware, or spybot s&d to check and see if you've got any adware/spyware running in the background. You shouldn't be having issues with the specs you've got, to be honest. My other thought is the websites you're visiting. If you're on a website that's running a script of some sort that's hanging, it could bring your system to a halt like that. What browser are you using? Also, is it usually the same site(s) that cause it to slow down so much?thanks for the REPLY.... it is all different sites...at times i can have multiple windows open, and that is the reason why i have a good processor with enough ram so i wouldnt have this problem.....i do have zone alarm running but i will try the malware programs you mentioned.........yeah, zonealarm is meant more as a firewall and less as an antivirus/spyware solution. Try the tools I recommended and let me know how it turns out.by the way, im also running avast...... i downloaded spybot and RAN and it said i had a few infected files and a lot of tracking files....but to get rid of them i had to buy the program so i didnt do it...then i downloaed malwarebytes and it said i had nothing bad.....i will try ad-aware next You probably don't NEED all 3. I usually just use malwarebytes and spybot s&d (if you download the free one it won't prompt you to purchase it).i know, i dont need all...but it prompted me for payment....ran adaware and it said i just had some tracking cookies....so far no improvementactually i am running a lot better now.......thanks a bunch socrates no problem |
