Never defrag . not worth the time. Most importantly never use restore as thats where viruses hide. At this time back up ur documents and favorites.. pictures and videos and music.
Get the drivers for the os u have can remote in if u need help. Format and reinstall whatever windows u have with the cd. |

some wouldnt have thought of that . Which is why I mentioned it. Plus, you are thinking of doing what some have suggested which would be wrong. Good luck either way.

After reading over a couple of your threads, concerning computer issues, my advice is to download and run this...
http://www.malwarebytes.org/lp/malware_lp?gclid=CKWnjP7MpLECFQed7Qod700eoQ Be sure to install the free version. Run the scan. Also, download and run this... http://www.superantispyware.com/ These are the top two programs recommended by Dell techs. Keep in mind, these are free programs, and will not last forever. You'll want to uninstall them within one month. Next, you need to go to add/remove in your control panel, and remove any unused programs. Some antivirus programs create dummy files, if more than one anti virus program is running. While the files are basically harmless, they are a huge memory eater, and this could severely slow your machine down. I'm no tech, but i do read and listen to them, and this seems to be a general concern. |

Dell, techs are worthelss.
Like I said use ccleaner. - to keep ur system clean Bitdefender takes care of you in a 360 way and its way better then what is suggested. When the os is bad there is no amount of cleaning or removal of viruses that will fix it. Come on u can format and put back the basic programs in about 20 minutes since 2005. So when its that fast why take 3 hours to remove alot of viruses . If its just one that is fine, but there is a point of no return. Plus, her problem is the os. |

your loss . Both of those programs cant compare, and do as good as Bitdefender. Really if u have vista the problem is the os dont be short sighted.
Really think of the source- not reliable at all . Dell techs whatever. malwarebytes is good ,but cant do what bitdefender can . That crappy pos superantispyware never was good. Spybot search and destroy is still better then that so is spywqreblaster. Summary: Get bitdefender and be best protected. Yes, they have a free online scan and a free version. Then get ccleaner. it has been know to get rid of spyware and malware and trojans. |

I am really amazed that nobody suggested throwing Windows out the window...especially since you're only using a bootlegged cd like you said and worried about updates?!
go to ubuntu.com and click "get ubuntu now" ...or any other linux system for that matter?! find a local tech savy kid and pay him a couple of bucks to do that for you. He can set up another operating system and keep your current one intact in case you really don't like the linux based. Ubuntu is completely free, legal, has great support and you don't have to worry nearly as much about viruses/malware like with a Windows system. Or take the "remote access" offer you got ;) The comment about your computer probably being too slow for todays programs is probably right. Also: If you already had a virus on your computer and you installed an anti-virus programm, it might not even pick it up at all. |
