Your computer might be riddled with viruses and spyware. If this doesnt work then throw away your pc.

1) Do a disk cleanup using a program called 'crap cleaner'.
2) Search for viruses
3) Search for spyware
4) disk cleanup again
5) Use a program called "WinASO Registry Optimizer"
6) Defragment c: drive

OR

Reformat

Umm... I'm scanning viruses, but it's taking a while... No viruses so far (I'm using V3 Medic)

ADDITION:
OMFG, I found a Trojan. I dunno how to erase it. My compter's slow as hell and all programs u get a "free" scan, but only scan. You gotta pay to erase it.

Hahahahaha! Free programs are trojans themselves.

Then I guess you can pay or pirate, your choice

(Or reformat, or live with it, or look for other free programs?)

Use Ad-Aware and this.

You got yourself into an even bigger mess. Just get AVG anti-virus or something lightweight & MS Windows Defender.

Looks like your computers slow.

I went to windows, and it said I had no virus.
I have AVG, but I dunno if it actually deletes all the trojans i have... -_-

P.S. I don't htink I got myself into a bigger mess. They were actually virus scanners that had an official product and I was using a free scan from that product. The other one I used came w/ the computer.

Did you try the thing in merrels signature? It works extremly well. Also, if you want to make sure your PC is clean, use pandasoft's free online scan, although it won't delete anything unless you pay, it can tell you where the problem lies.

Well if it gets worse reinstall windows. Like I did.
-.-
At least Hitman 2 works now and I cleared up my full PC of crap.

*random question* For a nerd like me, I never really got how to reinstall windows. How do you do it?

Anyway, the program in Merrell's sig rocks.

Go to your BIOS, set it so your first priority to boot is your CD Drive. Put the bootable Windows CD in your CD Drive, start up the computer, and it will say
"Press any button to boot from CD."
Then follow the steps =\
