WTF is wrong

[Soccerman06]

Ok I have finals this week and need to get my computer working right to help me study. The problem Windows is being super slow at some points and then normal speeds at others. By this I mean, I could be surfing the net and all of a sudden the computer would slow down and not do anything for a minute or two. It is odd though, Ive ran spyware and antivirus stuff many times over looking for something wrong. I recently downloaded Morpheus, and thats was the same time it all started, but I had not downloaded anything with it because it didnt work right. I then went on to unistall it, which didnt completely delete all the files. I then went into my computer and deleted everything manually. Everything of Morpheus is suppose to be gone, I used the search thing to find every file (even hidden files) and its all gone. What can I buy/download to fix this. I made a mistake downloading Morpheus, but for some reason Its only my computer that has the problem, none of my friends. I seriously dont want to have to reload everything (btw its an Asus Z71). I can live with this computer being slow until finals are over, then Ill probably end up reloading windows and all my games god damn.

Thanks for the help if you have any

First thing I'd try is check task manager and see what processes are running... how much memory / cpu it's taking, etc.

Well as I opened this reply, it took 2 minutes for it to open. The best way I could describe this is that everytime it slows down, I could click on the x button thing in the corner of the window and it would say the program is not responding. Also there is very little cpu usage, between 2-7%.

what Spyware progs are you using?

Check file fragmentation.

Well Im using ad-ware, spybot- search and destroy, and virusscan. It just seems like Morpheus just fvcked my computer up...

can you get a screenshot of your task manager processes sorted by mem usage ?

Also, you don't mention what else aside from your browser interaction is slow. What other programs ?

Do this and use the most recent of these programs:
- Boot into Safe Mode
- Run Adware
- Run Spybot
- Run MS Antispyware
- AVG Anti-viri scann
- Run Spywareblaster
- Uninstall anything you do not need in the add/remove programs. Be as thorough as possible.
- Run Ccleaner (registry cleaner included, and make a backup when it prompts you)

If problem still persists, run Hijackthis and post the log here if you need some help.
