Hi all,
A couple of weeks ago while surfing the net my PC became really slow all of a sudden. I have broadband so it should be fairly fast. The internet's not the only thing affected though. Every operation takes longer than it should. For example if I press on the start button, my program list takes about a minute to come up. Before this happened I had no anti-virus so when the problems started I bought Norton 2005. I ran a full system scan and 14 harmful threats were found and repaired/deleted. However my PC is still ridiculously slow. Could a virus have done irreparable damage to my hardrive? Is there anything I can attempt to remedy the problems I'm having?
Any & all advice is greatly appreciated.
Zapa.
