Thanks again for the response.

I'm a little unsure about that Acronis software myself, and as such, I've given it back to my "PC guy" to remove/fix it. Hopefully that fixes it.

Thanks again...

Thanks again. It doesn't appear that's the problem, and as you said, it's likely not malware either!

I may have to put the old computer out to pasture. Thanks again for having this great site!

Strange. After working for about 15 minutes today, the PC returned to its slow ways. Very puzzling and frustrating. Any ideas? Thanks again!

As the machine is still working quickly, I think we are done! Thank much. When you can, please advise as to how I can safely remove the tools.

Thanks much.

The system is running much, much faster now since the reboot.

Could it have something to do with changing the system protection settings? That's the only thing that has changed?! :confused:

Thanks for the reply, Dakeryras. My PC continues to be slower on what seems to be a daily basis. It is slowly getting worse.

OTMove It has been a dead link the last couple of days. Can I get the program elsewhere?

Computer is still sluggish, slow at times, perhaps not related to malware i suppose!
