I have the newest version of Adaware (i think its v.6), and i run it atleast twice a day to get all the parasites out, but my PC freezes every 10 minutes or so. I try and do the clt+alt+dlte and check my running task but none of them is "not responding", therefore, i have to restart my PC. anyone know of a way I can fix my problem? PS: limit the car jokes.
i think its Win 00'. Its recently having this problem. Can't fix it for the life of me. the harddrive is only about 35% used up.
You might need to clean your registry - there are lots of free programs around (RegCleaner, RegMechanic...)
Could be your video card. I know we've had that problem at work before. We've had to replace a few video cards to stop freezing. But yeah... try cleaning your registry and stuff first. Did you run a virus scan?
Im running RegCleaner now.... seems like its finding alot of "Paths"... once its finished, can I delete all of them with no worries that i might be deleting something important?
If you want you can try a program like RegVac ~ it has a 'novice' mode so you don't have to worry so much about deleting something important. RegVac has a free trial program that gets rid of a lot of stuff, but you have to pay to get everything cleaned - I still recommend it though. Another good cleaner is called RegSupreme and you can delete everything with it. RegVac Good Luck
Do you use the smart scan or the custom scan? I run Ad-aware as well and the custom scan (although it takes longer) will find ALOT more spyware, parasites, etc than just running the smart scan.
