(Solved) Desktop pc suddenly slow
Boggin:
Something is still using a hell of a lot of memory, but it isn't apparent from the Processes.
What does the Applications list ?
Can you download the free version of Speccy and when it has analysed, can you click on RAM and list what it says under Physical Memory - your Virtual Memory doesn't look as much as it should in Task Manager.

This is what mine looks like - disregard the lower attachment, it didn't come out as I wanted.
Lady:
If by applications you mean plug-ins, see attachment for my plug-ins.
The pc has become SUPERSLOW now. I have Speccy 1.28, couldn't get it to update to 1.29. After right-clicking on the exe file there was a very short pop-up, something like "please wait while Speccy....loading...." and then it's gone. Tried it several times. So I used 1.28.
The outcome is in the attachment.
I purposely didn't reboot today and it seems that, when it's under a slow attack, the slowness gets worse with time.
Could it be malware? If the scans by BullGuard, MBAM and Eset don't give anything, is there another program that would find something they might overlook?
Boggin:
Well, your Virtual Memory looks okay.
Not Firefox plug-ins but the Applications tab in Task Manager - something's aggregating 43% of your memory.
Lady:
Well well well, look at this.
I closed all programs and opened Task Manager. It was still on 36% physical memory. Or is it just me?
BTW, your Dutch is coming along nicely now, isn't it, Boggin? :cheesy:
I'm off to bed. Tomorrow I'll run all my AV/Malware scans again and some other ones from a Dutch IT helpers' site specialized in malware.
Good night, y'all, sweet dreams. <3
Boggin:
My Dutch is fine as long as it's in English :D
Tomorrow, download Process Explorer https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx
Click on Options and ensure Verify Signature is checked then hover over VirusTotal.com and check its box.
Look for any VirusTotal entries in red with a highish value /50ish.
