Computer Help

[naaberz3]

Hi,

I recently have been having some issues on my laptop. Lately it seems to be running very slow and I dont know what to do. I ran malwarebytes and didnt find anything so I thought I would come here to ask for advice (sorry if this isnt the right forum). Is there anything I should do now to try and help?

Below is a highjack this log too (i dont know too much about it, just know that someone else can maybe help me with it)

Thanks for the help,

Ray

I would probably do a fresh Windows reinstall if it were me but here are a couple of other things I would suggest.

Install Soluto and use it cut down on your startup programs.
Keep Advanced System Care from running on its own, it's auto-updating sometimes causes 100% CPU hangs. (its fine to run as needed though)
I also don't like seeing DivX, Adobe, Apple, and Nielsen programs but you probably have reasons for having all that installed.
You should try looking at your task manager when your computer is acting slow and see what process is killing it.
Hopefully you have enough RAM for the programs you're running too.
