Manufacturer: Hp-pavilion Model: Np200aa-aba a6720y OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium CPU/Ram: 2.2 GHz / 6142 MB Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS Sound Card: Realtek High Definition Audio These are my specs. Last night, my computer was working fine. This morning it isn't. I downloaded Torrent before I went to bed and since the computer is so slow, I uninstalled it. It isn't that the computer is slow in all applications, but it seems to time out over 60% of the time when connected to the internet, even in igoogle (my home page). This is driving me NUTS. I'd like to run hijack this and other programs similar, but I can't find the proper instructions to do so. I did run Spybot Search & Destroy and nothing came up. Thanks!

It seems that your computer is running somewhat slow for it's specifications. The best way to go about this is install an antivirus (I reccomend Avast, but any as long as the definitions are up to date) and perform a full system scan. If that picks up nothing then the next thing to do is remove any uneeded programes (uninstall), do a disk cleanup (I reccomend ccleaner, you can also clean up the registry) and then do a disk defrag Edit: Fixing some spelling mistakes
