Hi joselepiu,

should i disable avg & spybot before running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware?...

It's not necessary for MBAM, but it is for the ESET scan.

Hi joselepiu,

I apologize. I didn't get a notification that you replied to the thread.

Both MBAM & ESET scans look good. How does the computer seem to be running?

[joselepiu]

still the same...
very slow & sluggish...
the hard drives noises & the green light are the same. ...

Hi joselepiu,

Some of your performance issues could be a result of the age of your machine. Although I am not well versed in the hardware area of the computer here is some information you might need to take into account.
