This plugin (AVG SafeSearch) is designed for MS Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox Internet browsers. If you would like to disable it kindly proceed as follows: 1. Internet Explorer: * Run Internet Explorer. * Choose the Internet Options from the Tools menu. * Switch on the Programs tab. * Click on the Manage add-ons button. * Select the AVG Safe Search add-on. * Tick in the Disable option at the bottom of this window. * Confirm

I am TRYING my BEST to follow his advice. On startup ( Big fix,Persistance, Host manager,swg,IgfxTray) is NOT in the list. And I have NO IDEA how to get to internet explorer. I also tried to and thought I did disable AOL. Thanks

That's just it, AOL is not in my add/remove list in controlpanel. This is what the box that pops up says: The AOL Connectivity Service is not running Restart your computer and try again.

I have done everything that Pete said, and I am going to switch to Firefox. It seems to be almost back to where it was on "THE GRAND SPEED" for dialup, but I am having problems getting rid of AOL. It keeps popping up a message that MY AOL SOMETHING,SOMETHING is messed up and I need to restart my pc to fix this problem. I tried following the tutoral that Pete suggested But, I guess I did something wrong. Also the AOL is still in my tray, and it still seems to turn itself on. Just keep in mind that I AM REALLY DUMBO on pc/s so talk to me like I was a 5 year old. Heck they probably know more th

Thanks a BUNCH Pete C, Getting the grandkids this weekend, so it might be a bit before I can get back. I printed off all the pages for later. Thanks again, Wanda

Here is the new one. Thanks for looking again.

Could be a problem with prefetch not being cleared or not rebuilding. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709618.aspx 9. Do you have ready boost enabled using a readyboost capable USB flash drive? Readyboost copies files used in bootup and loading of programs you use a lot to the flash drive so that they can be copied directly from it to RAM rather than having to find them on the hard drive each time. This can speed up many items quite a bit. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-v...readyboost.aspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost How do I uninstall AOL?? It is not in

Hope this is right. Thanks for looking for me. Task_Shot.bmp

I have NO IDEA how to begin to screencap. Now, the computer is doing good "AS" long as I am not on the internet. Before my dialup wasn't anything to brag about, BUT IT HAS NEVER been this SLOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I disabled the resident shield an checked on the firewall, it is Windows Firewall. I also got my 2gigs of memory yesterday and installed it. I'm still running (TURTLE SLOW). It is hard to figure out wha to do, since there is SO MANY suggestions. Can your ISP cause everything to slow up?

Hi Liz, I'm not sure what you are saying on the Windows firewall. To be HONEST, I don't know what I am running. This whole computer thing has got me on my last raw nerve. I hope this is what you were talking about (THE SPECS) Windows Vista Home Basic, 65.5 fre hard drive, 1gig memory, AVG antivirus (that will not update). What else do you need and how do I find the info for you? Thanks, Wanda

Thanks Honda Boy, Since I'm a computer dummy, I think I'll leave that as a last resort. Thanks again, Wanda

I am having trouble with my computer running REALLY SLOW. I am running VISTA home basic. This started around the time that SP1 was installed. I have never seen it run this slow, even on other computers. Not sure what the prob. is, but SURE COULD use some help. By the way I am on dialup, so downloads are not so good. Thanks Wanda

Thanks for being SO patient!

Here is the log you asked for. I hope I can download theAVP Tool offline, because it started downloading at 12 hours remaining Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.33 Database version: 1654 Windows 6.0.6000 2/1/2009 11:07:08 AM mbam-log-2009-02-01 (11-07-08).txt Scan type: Quick Scan Objects scanned: 48435 Time elapsed: 4 minute(s), 31 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 23 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 0 Memory Processes Infected: (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Infect

I did the ATF cleaner, Malwarebbytes, and I tried 3 times to run the Kaspersky scan. I am on dial up so it kept knocking me off line before it could finish loading. 1'st time was 2 hours, 2'nd time 1.5 hours, 3'rd time I thought it was going to work, 3 hours and off again. Is there a shorter one that I can load?

I turned off my antivirus, but now when it tries to open Windows says the program stopped working and they will let me know if they find a solution. As you can see I am a computer dummy or I would know how to get around this.

i tried to download the Wrapper.exe And I keep getting a warning that it is a threat or something. I'm not sure how to get it to work. ANY advice??? Thanks, Wanda

Hello, I am running Vista home basic, so I could not run or install ERUNT. I did however do the rest of them. My pc is running really weird so if you can find anything wrong please let me know.

I bought a SANYO (VPC-S500) digital camera. I have 2 computers, #1 has XP on it and #2 has VISTA home basic.Where do I go to find the driver or whatever I need to put my pics on the VISTA pc? I called SANYO and they told me to get it from Microsoft. It works perfect on my XP, but that pc cannot handle much more. Not REAL computer smart, so forgive my ignorance. Thanks for any info you can provide!
