I cleaned a piece of malware off it and he was happy. A few weeks back he called me and said it was acting strange again, so i took a look at it and ran the usual tests (malware bytes, Vipre Rescue) and nothing was found. I ran the "autoruns" and found a few "suspicious" or unnecessary things at startup so I disabled those. The computer in question is a few years old Dell running XP Media Center. It has Vipre Home Premium on it. This afternoon I ran TDSSKiller on it and *that* didn't find anything. The main symptoms are just general sluggishness opening *any* app and severe sluggishness on the internet. The internet *could* be the ISP. He's getting about 2.5 mb/sec down and should be getting at least 10, from what I've been told. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on any other utilities I could try or any other suggestions? -- Thanks, John Aldrich Blueridge Industries IT Manager ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
