abi Posted June 6, 2013 ID:687931 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have a DELL INSPIRON running on Windows 7. My problem is this. Lately (meaning the last 7 days) my computer started running slow on internet and offline. After i got rid most of my files (copied them to an external drive) and did a full system scan with NORTON, still is slow. NORTON found 4 viruses (2 heuristics, 1 simple and a yontoo) and succesfully removed them. Is there something else I can do before having to do a FORMAT?

abi Posted June 8, 2013 Author ID:688983 Share Posted June 8, 2013 First to say thank you in advance both of you and sorry it took so long to respond but I had a lot of work.Thank you Dashke but i decided to take AdvancedSetup's path.I must say that i did a scan on ESET also and did find some more threats which were resolved and computer is looking much better but not as it was.I downloaded DDS and created those two files. I attach them on the message and will be waiting for response. Maybe i will not be fast on the time i will take to follow your instructions so please be patient.attach.txtdds.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
