Hi All, I am looking for help with my Mesh PC. I am experiecing really slow performance with the PC, I have tried everything I know, including clean up, de-frags etc. Also both web browsers which I use, internet explorer and mozilla are continually crashing and throwing me out, saying that an error has occured, and then brings up the message about sending an error report. I am run virus checks on the pc and all has been cleaned up. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!! thanks A Frustrated user!!

What AntiVirus are you using ? What OS are you using? more info on your pc would be nice. Slow performance, can be caused by allot of things.. Do you have any cleaning software ?
am using Bullguard antivirus, I am using windows xp. my pc spec is 512mb RAM c drive is 385mb used, 864mb available. I have deinstalled the web browses and re-installed, but still get thrown out I have run anti virus, disk cleanup, defrag, what sort of cleaning software?
There's no way your hdd is "c drive is 385mb used, 864mb available." using Windows XP... Do you know anyone that knows a bit more about computers that can help you at least post here? Either way you are going to want to use a spyware scanner and do a full system scan for spyware and viruses. If that doesn't work you can always copy ur needed folders, format, and start over.
Is your system patched up? Are you running a firewall? I guess you're running FIrefox when you say Mozilla. What version? Have you run any spyware programs? Has the slowdown been sudden or has it happened over time?
how do you mean is my system patched up? Yes I have a firewall running through my anti virus Bullguard. Yeah I am using Firefox, am using the latest version. Spyware is also included within Bullguard. Have had the PC for a couple of years, but the slow down has been over the last couple of months.
Security patches from Microsoft. You should keep up to date to avoid problems with virus's. Also try downloading Spybot and Adaware. They're free and will allow you to scan for any more little nasties. Are your virus definitions up to date, I mean do you update your virus software regularly? Do you get these problems with any other applications or is it just with the browsers? You mean version 2.0.0.8
can u suggest the sites to download spybot and adaware? Yes my antivirus updates everytime I sign onto my computer.
