- SYSTEM RESOURSES LOW
- Posted by SL on November 7th, 2003
I have win98 SE. Lately the computer seems to be running slower. I ran my
Norton Anti Virus...no viruses. I run system resourses and when I am not
running any programs the resourses meter keeps going down....slowly. It
starts at about 65% then trickles down to 60-50-40-30....thru the day. Then
a warning pops up saying 90 % of resourses in use, start shutting stuff
down. When i click on the system resourse meter, it is showing 40 - 50 % but
not 90% as the warning says...I know Norton is always running in some
capacity, but I have nothing else running in the task bar or in background
or whatever.... I shut everything i possibly could, but still this is
happening. No I dont have Kazza or any of those music download all the time
programs.
Any advice or solutions??
.... thanks!

Nothing that I can think of has been installed for internet aids. System is
running at 56% right now, and the only thing running is email, and Norton
Anti Virus.

Get a progem called Spybot from www.downloads.com
Run it and I bet it will find a lot of spyware crap on your machine....

Captain Surreptitious will never answer questions like that. It would be
like taking off his mask!

The reverse is completely true. Run spybot, then run adaware and see what
spybot didn't get.

The reverse of your experience is true of my own experience. Spybot found
things Adaware didn't.
For best results, run both.

That is what I was saying. Spybot misses some things (or doesn't think
they are a threat), and AdAware does the same

This is the best bet. I also run HijackThis, but that program isn't for
dummies.

I think they are both around the same, I've never seen a major difference
between what they find, like it isn't as though one finds Gator and the
other doesn't, it's like one thinks the Alexa thing in IE is a spyware
device and the other doesn't.
