Sounds like the uninstall routine is breaking the LSP chain. Not sure what CA product you have installed.

Sluggish computer

If you have to open the computer case and mess about with the HD power cable just to get it working, backup any important data stored on it, then run the disk diagnostics utility from the hard drive manufacturer's website. If it finds any major faults that it can't fix, I would suggest a new hard drive. Have you tried using a different power connector? Are you using IDE or SATA? Is the non-OS drive internal or external? Is it a RAID...

@ Basementgeek Dear Basementgeek, I do appreciate the forum rules. However, I do not think that I have contravened them. What my superior is doing is unlawful in Britain. The intent of the question was not to circumvent the software, but to prove that it is actually there, so I can initiate legal steps against her behaviour. Is there any way you can help me? Thanks!

Disable AVG
Published (2009-11-21 16:53:00)
In case anyone else has this problem this is what you do. Open the AVG interface and double click on the Resident Shield un-check the Resident Shield active and click change (don't forget to re tick it when you have finished ) Each protection can be disabled the same way ie email scanner etc. Ron.

Hello slkamath,
I would recommend McAfee Total Propection Service (Firewall,Anti-malware/Anti-Virus) for servers and client computers. It is very reasonable as well. Pls. check out the link. http://www.mcafee.com/us/medium/prod...n_service.h tml
Just be careful when you install the entire package in your servers, you'll have issue in the Firewall, unselect the Firewall option during ...

Hi
I'm not sure if there is a specific guide, but our XP Forum contains a host of experts able to guide you through such a procedure.
I'm curious though - what sort of problems have lead you to considering a re-install?

I am sure the advice stands. Avoid any/all Registry cleaners. I am not seeing that is a recommended program by Microsoft Windows. Yes it does say Windows, but not Microsoft Windows.
I have all kinds of "Windows", bed room, basement, kitchen, etc. Even if it said it was recommend by Microsoft, I sure the advice would be the same -No/Don't use it.
I think it is safe to say that we all...

You'll find there are as many opinions as responders, but personally, I think you can't go wrong with KIS. Excellent choice, in my view.

When it's quarantined (and thus inactive), you can then see what you have and promptly delete it.

Does Task Manager work? If so, use the commands 2xgrump indicated from the Task Manager > File > New Task (run)
For malware removal assistance, if that's what's going on, follow the instructions here:
