Slow and spinning

[justwayne]

Hi,

My HD has been spinning like mad lately and I don't know what to do' I don't know if it's malaware or simply a mechanical problem. It's acting up, freezes and sometimes, if I minimize the browser, it just disappears! Any help or suggestions would be appreciate. Thank you! My DDS log:

Hi justwayne

Please post also attach.txt :)

[justwayne]

Hi, sorry I forgot the Attach log in my previous post! I don't have Winzip installed and frankly, I don't really want to install any unnecessary program on my system till my problem is resolved (I have no use for Winzip anyway!). I apologize if this is against the rules, I just don't quite understand why such a small file must be zipped rather than copy/paste it. Here is the Attach log:

Thanks!

You can actually handle zipped files without Winzip in XP/Vista/7 :)

How old is windows installation?

[justwayne]

Hi, my Windows installation is easily 5 years old.

[justwayne]

Oh, ok, I just found how! (see? I never have to zip anything, so I didn't know I could!)
Anyway, here it is again, zipped. I still don't understand why it has to be zipped, but hey.

[Shaba]

Thank you :)

If windows installation is 5 years old, it surely is slow.

Windows can get slow even within 1-2 yrs.

So it might not be a bad idea to attempt reinstallation of windows.
