Hi everybody,

After having re-formatted and re-installed everything on
my computer on RAID and with Win XP Pro, and having
a regularly updated Antivirus + Firewall (Kaspersky),
now my computer suddenly became very slow, even with
typing, clicking, dragging and opening windows.
I do regularly virus scans (with System Restore turned off)
and it finds nothing. What the hell could that be ?

Thanks for feed back,

Well something is bloating your system could be your antivirus mate, id be
inclined to remove it from your system and reboot and see what happens.

Well, I also supposed this and deactivated antivirus and firewall,
also the Windows firewall. But this doesn't give any difference.
Also, it's shocking that, in fact, slowing down happens time to time,
not constantly, but quite often anyway. Now, will uninstalling do better?
And how could I stay without an Antivirus and Firewall in
nowadays ?

Q

I'm about to suggest something very basic, so please ignore this if you've
had a laptop forever.

Since the slowdown doesn't happen all the time, are you certain your 'power
management' utility hasn't been switched into a mode that reduces processor
speed as the battery charge runs down?

Just a thought.

Well thank you for giving advice, but this is on my PC, no laptop.

Ok, I did Disk Cleanup and it seems this fixed the prob.
(Defragmentation was analysed as not needed).
There was a huge deal of Intenet temporary files.
It possibly was constantly checked by the antivurus.
Thanks a lot,

Oh. My bad. Since your request was posted in both alt.computers and
comp.sys.laptops I guessed laptop.

Glad to hear Quaoar's advice to clean up the disk solved your problem.

If you want to learn about Partition, Hard Disks, File systems and Data
Recovery, Book "Data Recovery with & without Programming"

Ok no harm. And surprisingly, there are not many computer advising
newsgroups around, that's why I posted in comp.sys.laptop as here
I find wise people giving cool advices. Thank you anyway, as your
advice can be useful in another situation, living in this tough world...

you don't have to do without antivirus and firewall - they are not your
problem.

Spyware/Adware/Trojan would be my guess... Try running anti-Spyware in addition to AV and FW...
