[PC issue]Guys i need your help xD

[Konali]

for the past 2 weeks, my laptop has had some troubles, i had 2 bluescreens xD and it is very slow.
For example, starting up SAMP takes 1 minute, connecting to the game takes 2 minutes.
Opening a new tabpage on the webbrowser takes 1 minute.
etc etc i think all of you kinda know where i am going with this.
I think my laptop is infected with a virus.


What i need from you guys si the best virusscan that there is and a program that can clean your pc really good.
In the past i used HitmanPro but i need to pay for it will it remove the results it found..
My antivirus is Avast, before this i used AVG and then i had no trouble, except i had some firewall settings fucked up and it wouldnt let me visit ct and other things so i took Avast.


Please give constructive feedback  TY:)

Get Malwarebytes. Its the best antivirus at removing viruses when you PC is already infected. Do a full scan the first time you run it and just sit and let it scan.

Maybe try to defrag your laptop? That's a common cause for it to be slow. As for the blue screens, as I had one before when my screen had first broken, it just did some kind of thing on its own when I did a system restore and has worked fine since, but my network adapter has been derping a lot lately, but that's another story

i am not willing to defrag my laptop XD

I did with mine just after it was a year old, 4% fragged and I don't see why you wouldn't, you don't lose anything besides what u tell it to delete (e.g. Temp files, cookies, etc)

If I were in your position, I would do a formatting of the hard drive, meaning delete every fucking thing on the computer

I have had my PC for 5 years, and two times things got fucked up, and I restored everything back to new both times..

Do you have windows event log service enabled? If it is open that and look if theres still records from the bluescreens and post them. The bluescreen stop codes would also help. And reason why. You shouldnt just forget the bluescreens. Windows trying to cryptically hint you that something is going wrong.
Could be RAM, could be HDD, could be corrupted windows..
Memtest86 and Hdat2 are great little tools you can burn to CD and boot them and run the tests.
Memtest86 with a single stick atleast 1 pass. if no errors, try with same stick on another slot, if pass, try with another stick in first slot and so on.
Hdat2 to check bad sectors in your hard drive.

If your computer is slow on launching programs and opening web browsers/pages. That hints to a hard drive being full or in need of defragment. Remember: Defragmenting does not make you lose anything. It just moves data around in the hard drive sectors and cleaning it up so theres not so much left over files you deleted and copied and deleted. Always when you move or delete, there is small data left on the sector on hard drive which will eventually clog it up.

And how is that helpful to lose all his files, while he clearly asked for an antivirus ?

Microsoft security essentials     

+ try maylware bytes couse sometimes is maylware that slow down your pc

[Supra]

I just said thats what I would have done, if I were in his position, because I have bad experiece with just using an antivirus to get clear shit up on an old, slow PC full of shit and stuff.

This is what i did when my computer was slow as fuck:

1- Use Malwarebytes. Do a full scan and if it finds a virus it will tell you and delete it.
2- Use Ccleaner. Clean all temporal files saved by Chrome, IE, blahblah
3- Use Ccleaner again and clean your Registry files. Keep retrying that process till ccleaner says theres no errors at the registry.
4- Since msconfig is abit more hard for someone that doesn't know about it, i should recommend you to check all the programs that starts with your windows clicking Startup at Ccleaner. It will let you disable, and delete programs from startup to make your pc much more faster.
5- Try to keep your PC clean of cookies, and temporal files using Ccleaner every once. I used to have 60gb of cookies and temporal files because i didn't clean my PC for about 4 years.

There is much more stuff you can do, such as tell your antivirus to not scan every file you are going to use. That slows down the performance since the program needs to check every file you want to use. If your pc is old and doesn't have enough RAM disabling that feature of your antivirus will help you alot.
