It could be a virus or corrupt file but I am not an expert on these issues.
Will it let you in to restore your computer to an earlier date when it was working OK?

I agree. Re imaging or reinstalling the windows operating system seems like the only fix at this point since it seems like the anti virus isn't picking up the virus. Back up the files on an external hard drive and just reinstall windows.

SOURCE: my acer aspire 4710 webcam has stopped working..

You can try to uninstall the cam in the Device Manager and restart the computer. It should then detect the cam and reinstall it. If for some reason it tells you that a driver cannot be found you can download it from http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/.

Simply go to Start / Run type in msconfig, select startup and untick all programmes except antivirus and any others you do want osee in lower right task bar. It will ask for restart, do so and add tick in the box that appears on startup. This will also speed up your startup.

Definitely a hard drive problem, you'll need to replace the drive and reinstall all the software.

I would consider replacing mccafe antivirus because really slows the system down. Go to www.download.com Type: malwarebytes anti-malware and ccleaner, run malwarebytes first and do a full scan, followed by ccleaner, and finally defrag the hard drive. This should help speed up your system.

I offer to start with the obvious, have you tried starting the computer in "SAFE MODE" and tried un-installing then?
Sometimes running the install program (if you have it) offers options like re-install, modify, or remove.
You should mention which AV program you are talking about, and which version (Pro, Home, other).
If it's running slow, try turning off or reducing anti-virus program options, like scan priority, auto-scan, auto-update, web-page status checking.

I have bought an acer t180 with windows vista from a mate and would like to reset it back to factory settings as it is really slow and has alot of programs that will not uninstall properly, but i can not...

acer do not supply backup discs, when the unit is purchased your mate would have been pompted to do a backup disc using the supplied software, which then leaves a file on another partition to be used in conjunction with the backup cd,s.

lll you can do is uninstal all unwanted programmes and clean up the system using Ccleaner which is free to download and cleans all temp files and old registry entries.

You may also have trojan or virus, so run your antivirus programme to scan the system.

Slow boot up and slow performance

you have 512mb of ram, firstly i recommend upgrading to atleast 1GB of ram especially if using Vista.

You may have a virus, assuming you have got an antivirus programme, run it, if not click the link below for AVG 8 Free

http://free.avg.com/ww.download?prd=afe

Also clean your system of old temp and registry files using Ccleaner, again free, click link below
