PC running painfully slow..

[imhotep]

I've been having problems with the speed of my PC tonight.
It's been going at snails pace recently.I bet I could make a cup of tea by the time my PC can finish loading something up.
I have even Defragmented it,and ran a full system scan using Norton and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Seems there is nothing wrong with my PC,as no viruses were reported.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a GO FASTER button on computers these days.That would be terrific!!
Nevertheless I have tried Whickerman's website link earlier called speedtest.
I'm not sure if it has worked though.
Is there any other way to make it go a bit faster??
Maybe it was going slow because there were a lot of people on the web.My computer seems to be running a little quicker now i have nearly finished tapping this message.Doh!! Temperamental machines!!
I have also noticed the computer usage light seems to be always working.I don't have a clue what my computer is doing half the time....

Are you with AOL? I am and over the past few months it`s been terrible. The connection have been failing and there`s no answer, also the speed is painfully slow.

Many find that using Norton because of its exhaustive testing the conflict with other routines may cause it to logjam. Try disabling it to eliminate from the suggestion,

Another technique is to press Alt/Ctrl/Delete keys all together and see what programs you have running at the time. If there is one that is hogging the system you can end it.

Hi 1ARMEDBANDI and rov1200.
I am with Internet Explorer 6,and I have pressed the Alt/Ctrl/Delete keys rov,and there doesn't seem to be any programs hogging the system.Strange thing is,is that when I am tapping this message in ,the cursor seems to stutter a bit.Most annoying!!
How do you disable Norton then?
I want to enable it again after mind!!!
The AB tonight is a little on the slow side again....aaagggh!!
Excuse me Ed, if you are reading this,can you change out of Reverse gear pleeeeeasssee,and change up a gear for goodness sake!!!
Ooooh!!

I use Baidu PC Faster. It's sped up my computer and helped to remove some excess files that were unnecessary as well as protect from viruses!
