alright so im ******* sitting at my computer and it starts getting really slow out of no where. So I go to task manager and see 1000m of my 1250 m of memory is being used. Im like ok well let me zap some programs out. So I look in my processes and the highest mem usage is 25,000k and its AIM. so where the **** is all my memory going? I counted up all the running processes and it only totals to about 250m not 1000m. Anyone know how to fix this ****

have you bought any sony/bmg cd's lately?

spyware, trojans, b/g programs bla bla bla.



get spybot, adaware, and norton antivirus (or AVG for free).



defrag the drive after running those three programs.



and do a fresh reboot.



to avoid this problem stop surfing porn sites or free download sites, or any gimmick sites.



kevin.

start>run> type "msconfig"



click startup tab>disable all except for a virus scanner



that'll free up a lot of mem for a while, till everything starts loading itself back up (aim etc...) over time.. quick and safe fix.

i hve too many damn programs on this computer man i gotta get this **** cleaned but I dont want to lose all my mp3s. I really need to format this drive though





everything loads itself up after each reboot lol

yeah, and update your virus scanner, and run a full system scan.. make sure you have spyware and all that **** checked in the preferences

wow 4 posts in a span of 3-4 minutes, noice.



peace back to work i go.



kevin.

buy new hard drive (since your rich)



transfer mp3s to that hard drive



format the old one.



finished.



i dont use any antivirus programs except Panda activescan (online scanner)

the only other thing i use besides that is adaware, my pc's always clean.

defrag once weekly

im not rich at all, I live with just my dad who works his ass off to keep us living at our house. I just have a decent job and no debt.

decent? i thought you made like 30-40k a year?
