Hi folks,
Sorry, it's me again. 2 days ago my PC suddenly went into snail-crawling mode. In fact first off it refused to boot. So I opened the case and checked all the IDE cables etc were seated properly and correctly. Then I was able to boot into WINDOWS (finally) but then it took forever to bring up the logon screen.
So I emptied all temp unwanted files, courtesy of a program (ATF-Cleaner) recommended on this site.
PC still very slow. In fact I kicked off the Ad-Aware SE scan last night (yes that's right, last night!) and woke up this morning to find it still scanning!
So now I have executed HijackThis in the hope that the professionals on this site will spot something in the log that explains this unwanted PC behaviour.
As always, your assistance greatly appreciated.
