Hi all
My computer over the past few months has started to run really slow on start up. I have vasts amount of memory left and i dont run complex programs or games which require vast sums of memory
The problem is the time it takes my computer to boot up. Im not joking when i say it takes almost 5 minutes for explorer to boot up...its very annoying.
AVG prompted me to scan my computer which is what i done and it flashed up two problems
• trackingcookie.doubleclick
• trackingcookie.real
Could these be the problems behind the machine running slow
Having done a scan with Hijackthis, the report reads as follows:
