(Solved) Desktop pc suddenly slow
Lady:
It took me some time to understand what you meant but I think I do now.
I see three VirusTotals in red. See attachments. 1 is the Tweaking.com Windows Repair Tray Icon! 2 is IOBit Uninstaller. I noticed before that when I wanted to update this program uBlock came with a warning and I didn't update. The third is the Prey program.
What do you say?
Had one instance of slowness. Pc is still fine today, just watched some videos without any problems.
Boggin:
I have WR Pro and while it is listed in Process Explorer for me, it doesn't have a signature or Virus Total rating.
I also have IObit Uninstaller but it isn't running in the background and so, isn't listed - use IObit Uninstaller to uninstall itself to see if that makes any difference and what is the Prey program ?
Generally, 1 or 2/50 in red are nothing to worry about.
I think at one time I used to get a 1/50 for Flash Player, mine are all showing in blue with 0/50ish.
EDIT - Just had another look and Uninstall Monitor.exe is listed but doesn't have a signature or rating and is very low usage - so perhaps not that.
Boggin:
Just been playing about with the View options in PE and now both WR and Uninstaller are verified and now showing in red as 1/50ish and 2/50ish respectively - possibly because they have the ability to change your system.
However, PE may show something that is responsible for that 3.6GB usage.

Lady:
Prey is a program that can locate your pc/laptop/cell phone. https://preyproject.com/ You have to sign up and log in, it's not an installed program.
I was just looking at Programs and Features and saw Surfing Protection by IObit. That might be a realtime thing as well. I don't like this IObit one bit :tongue:. They keep trying to install all kinds of things. I have Revo but only for 32 bit programs. Didn't know your trick back then. :( Do you know another freeware uninstaller so I can get rid of this IObit?
Yeah, I got that, that 1 or 2 positives is nothing to worry about.
I made screenshots of my Process Explorer for you.
Now I'm signing off for the rest of the afternoon, Boggin. It's lovely weather here and I REALLY promised myself to do something else today! :cheesy:
We'll talk later. Oh, but we should not forget that I still cannot open IE.
Have a nice day!
