I think yr system is now running slow because of the System Restore. You say you did a System restore back to when you first got yr netbook. How long ago was that? Did you bring your system back up to date, and tidy up yr programs and features?

Can you provide a HijackThis log -

Download and run.
Then do scan and save a log file.

Post the log file to this thread. If it is too large you may have to post in two parts.

I forgot to do this. Here it is:

Hi CXF

I just want you to fix two entries to start with -

You check the box next to the entry then you go down to fix selected and click to fix.

Then you press scan again - and then select the other entry and fix it.

That’s all for now. see how you go.

Edit - sorry i was a bit busy - if you had replied - never mind, here is the two entries if not fixed yet.

Hi,
Tried removal tool - worked avast was removed.
However reinstallation of avast failed.
The reinstall started and ended with no error reports but avast was not installed.
However at my next boot chkdst started and reported errors on my C; drive.
Seems something is very wrong now with the latest avast.
I am using XP
