I don?t know what has been going on with my laptop. It all started July 4th when I tried to watch Independence Day on my laptop. The video would work for a while, then it would start to get laggy and skippy. My whole computer is that way now. My programs work fine for about 30 seconds to a min, and then they get laggy and skippy. At first I thought it was a video card problem, but now I am convinced that I have some kind of nasty virus. I have run many different virus scanners and many different spyware scanners, and still I have the same problem. My programs will run fine for about 30 seconds to a min, then it?s like all the resources are sucked away from it and it doesn?t work properly. I don?t know if this is hardware related, or software related anymore. Please help me.

I dont know if this will help.

As a thought.. when I've encountered systems which might already be infected with something and which I thus don't trust that I'll be able to get an accurate reading on if I do proceed to install, I'll then try an online scanner like the one at http://www.stopsign.com

Granted, it costs money if you want your system cleaned, but just an online scan is free, and it may end up at least pointing you in a direction to look if it does find something. 🙂

Okay, I am going to run that scan. I have done another online scan also when this problem came up. This is what it came up with.

Okay, I ran the scan and it did not come up with anything. What else should I try?
 
I would clear the browser cache and cookies on all browsers you have installed. Open the Java control panel and clear all cache and temp files there. Remove all "objects" from IE (you'll need to reinstall a couple of things if you use them, but no biggee). Download and run CCleaner, run both the cleaner and the issues checker. Check the settings of your cache file (to make sure you have one).

I would also suggest you download Startup.cpl from Mike Lin's website, install and then use it to eliminate several of your startup items. I don't see anything particularly malicious but you are crippling your system with so many startup programs.

You might also try reinstalling your video drivers, they may be corrupted.
