Whenever i try to open a program by clicking on an icon from the desktop it takes forever for the program to open. Can someone please help me to fix this problem. I ve tried someting called shredder remover and it does not work, ive ran ad aware, spybot, scan disk, disk defrag nothing seems to solve this problem. My brother downloaded a free program recently and ive read that maybe it contained some harmful software possibly using my cpu as a server. Any one know how to solve this problem, i menan the programs usually take a really long time to launch after clicking.

Hi Lowell3 Run HijackThis and post the log on the Security and Virus forum. Before doing so run your system through with: Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?lang=en&page=download AdAware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ HijackThis can be found at: http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html

Also, take a look at your task manager and see where all your cpu is being used.
