You need to find out what process is hogging up your resources and slowing down your computer. Open task manager and look for a process that is using up a lot of CPU, memory or both. Once you have found the process first google the name to see what program it belongs to and if it is legitimate or a virusdid complete scan with anti viruses internet secur - 2_bing.gif.

If the process is tied to an application you can end the process and see if youdid complete scan with anti viruses internet secur - 2_bing.gif2_bing.gif speeds up. If this is the case you will need to do a little research to see why that application is so resource intensive.

If it is a virus you will need either use another anti-virus program to remove it or find instructions on how to do it manually.

Features of AVG Anti Virus

<p>AVG Anti Virus is available free-of-charge to home users! AVG Free Edition is for private, non-commercial, single home computer use only. AVG Anti-Virus is loaded with features, including new tools that improve security and usability. Continuing from last year is the gamer mode, which allows you to enjoy full-screen games (or movies, presentations, etc.) without interruptions or popup announcements, and still maintain security. Generally free antivirus software does not give full protection. Still AVG free version is best among free antivirus software.<br /> <p> <br> <p>AVG Anti-Virus even includes a PC system optimizer utility. The PC Analyzer scans your system and locates registry errors, junk files, disk errors and broken shortcuts. You can fix these issues, but note that you can only fix errors once for free. Subsequent use requires that you purchase AVG PC Tune-up.<br> <p> <br> <p>Another great feature that only a few of the best antivirus software vendors have is internet link-scanning. AVG LinkScanner brings a whole new level of security to your online activities, and won

Security

As a free anti-malware (anti-virus) that will actively catch malware as it comes to your system, I actually recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. I would also install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (the free version does not run in the background) so you can do virus scans when you want if you think something may have gotten past the Microsoft tool.

Ican`t open mails always freezing and running very slow

Many things could cause your computer to run slow and experience freezing. Most commonly these problems come from malware and broken registries.
A simple solution to this problem is to use a registry cleaner and antivirus;
  • CCleaner is a free system optimization and privacy tool that erases Internet history and other unused files, and cleans up orphaned registry entries. It is the number-one tool for cleaning your Windows PC. It protects your privacy online and makes your computer faster and more secure. Easy to use and a small, fast download.

  • Use your antivirus program to perform a full system scan for malicious software.

    If you feel that your antivirus is inadequate, then I recommend you use Microsoft Security Essentials. It is a free anti-malware solution that helps protect you against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.

Won't scan after 30 to 45 minutes.The computer will not complete the scan for virus sweep;the computer freezes.

If you can, I would download MalwareBytes (It's free) update it first, then run it. If it finds problems (usually indicated in red) remove the problems. Reboot and then try your Webroot again. Note that any Anti-Virus program will not work well unless it is regularly updated. this is because new viruses / malware come out with great frequency.

Anti Virus

Kapersky Internet security is the complete software suite, and it does include, firewall, internet security and some anti spyware feature.

Internet security is better, but it will also slow down the computer more.

If you have a good computer with at least 1 GB RAM, and CPU at least 1.6 GHZ intall Internet security. If the computer is slow or it is an old computer, then install antivirus only, and be more careful.

A virus in my pc

Dear Sir/madam,

This is malware/adware virus cookies. Sometimes happenend in yahoo, after that the system is crashing. Just download a best anti-spyware programme and scan it. It will detect and delete all the malware / spyware cookies. After that the internet is getting speed and runs without any problem.

Note : If your system antivirus with anti-spyware and all the total internet security features means u need to install before upon ur risk. Because it cause system slow....

Thanks
Good Luck
