If you don't have those, your options are to buy new ones or perhaps look at installing Linux. If you want to try and salvage, I'd start with running an AV like MS Security Essentials (free) and MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free). Once it's free of infestation, then you can look at freeing up some space, defragging HDD, etc BTW, what type of PC: laptop? Desktop? OS:Apple? WinXP? WIn7? Memory? HDD? |

Click on the tab for "Performance" Post a screenshot Are you seeing something like this?
