I have been having trouble with my computer running slow, freezing up, and having programs not responding lately. I have run ad-aware several times and it runs extremely slow, escpecially when it scans CLSID files and system 32 files. I have even run norton antivirus and it finds nothing, although my virus definitions are outdated. I have had to resort to using System Restore points to get everything back on track but after i do my computer runs into the same problems again after only a few days. If anyone can give me some suggestions, i would greatly appreciate it.

I did a defrag and a disk cleanup a few days ago, and i'm still having the same problems. I will try the Avast.
