HELP! I have a problem with my laptop Acer EXTENSA 5635GT - Intel dual core 2.10ghz, 3gb RAM, Windows 7 OS. The problem is that it suddenly became very slow. When I try to open any folder - it takes more time than normal. I can't do anything. Like the processor is 500mhz. I remeber my AVG showed a notification that she found Trojan horse in "odbc.exe". Is it something about it?! Also, there is a notification that my battery needs changing, but I don't use it. I tried system restore, but there are no control points. I looked all over the laptop but it doesnt seem to be overheating. Please, help me
What do you mean you DON"T charge your battery ?If your laptop has a Trojan, Then you better remove it.. If you have a smart Virus , Then you will have a BIG problem.. It sounds like your laptop needs a good cleaning,Run Anti virus and remove all Viruses /Trojans.. Install SuperAntispyware Free version and update and scan... Next you need a program called CCleaner, Next you will need a good Registry cleaner, Like Registry Easy.. Last, DEFRAG...
I didn't mean I don't charge my battery.. I wanted to say that I don't need it. If there is no problem to run my laptop without the battery (but pluged in contact of course..), I can do it. I tried running anti virus scan, but after the first minute the scan speed drops. It scans one file per minute - like it's size is 1gb.. Maybe I need 24 hours to scan completely my laptop. I used Frontline Registry Cleaner and it cleaned many errors, but didnt fix my problem.
Sounds like a Virus/Trojan has taken over.. Remove AVG and install Avast free... AVG is Bloatware now and Takes way too long to scan.. Install SuperAntispyware and update then run...
I used Malwarebytes and it detected 2 Trojans Vundo and 10 other adwares. I removed them, but the problem still exists
Hate to tell you ,but it sounds like a Smart virus..Do you have any software that came with this laptop ? recovery CD !!! If it is a smart virus, Then try to back up all most important files / software and RUN the recovery...
Hi hristina, this is gobinath,u can try with microsoft antivirus its free only. and check you are cpu usage by click shift +ctrl+esc (or) del in that click sub tab of cpu and find which process is high and tell me we can solve. Best Regards, S.Gobinath
You mean ONLY the free versions slow down your computer,,,Hymmmm ok , If you say so......ALL ANTI VIRUS SLOWS DOWN YOUR COMPUTER...specially when updating or scanning... What do you do, work for Kaspersky..??? Avast free version is VERY GOOD..
May I ask what Anti virus do you use ? There is NO difference between the free versions and the paid versions when it come to updating...
Johhny : You will not get a Virus from a Named Anti Virus Server, Who told you this ??? Anti virus is a Matter of choice, I have working on Computers now for 20 years and I Build them / repair them / and tune them/And clean them... I have seen a Virus come through on every single Anti virus that has been used, I have cleaned the aftermaths of trojans and Smart viruses, There is NO single Anti Virus that I have not tried and Buying and brand name one's will ONLY slow down your computer.. Most of the Brand name Anti Viruses are Bloat hogs.. So, like I said it comes down to a matter of choice....
Your Opinion is more than welcome, And I would say you made a good choice in Anti viruses, Kaspersky is ONE of the best In my Opinion, But I don't care for Internet Security's, most of them become Bloat hogs and then slow down your computer....
