    The slowest laptop in the world.....probably
    « on: July 26, 2012, 04:02:29 AM »
    Hi,
    I know laptops can become slower over time it my laptop has become so slow it's like using a zx80 machine from the 1980s
    I'm not sure why this is happening but I installed prism ( a free utility that converts files ) and ran it on 21st July converting a movie into mpeg4 to go on the iPad.
    It worked and then I went on holiday.
    I have just come home and tried to use my laptop which has now become so slow I almost gave up using it.
    Any ideas? Could it be a virus?
    Thanks

    You've provided absolutely nothing for us to work with.

    What OS?

    What are the specs of your system?

    EXACTLY what is slow? Describe the problem IN DETAIL.

    What happens when you boot to safe mode?

    From where did you download prism?

    Have you run full scans with your AV and MalwareBytes (both)? If not, please do so now.
