(Solved) Desktop pc suddenly slow
Boggin:
I've used IObit to uninstall itself before now, but you can download the Pro trial version of Revo which will uninstall 64 bit programs.
Have you tried to open IE without add-ons yet or run AdwCleaner or Junkware Removal Tool to see if they find anything untoward which will stop IE from opening.
Have you also tried resetting IE to defaults ?
If you can open IE without add-ons then that would point to something nasty on your computer which both AdwCleaner and JRT are designed to remove.
If they haven't found anything untoward then go to Method 4 in this article and hit the Download button to re-register IE - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/813444

I was able to do something with my Sunday for a bit........and here I am again.
If we solve this, I believe I should deserve another karma point. Pfffffffff.
Am looking right now at a possible memory leak in Process Explorer, according to Leo's instructions (Working Set and Virtual Size). I think it's better to do this after a fresh start, but anyway, I'm looking at it. :cheesy:
Hadn't turned off the pc and now it's starting to get really slow again.
Lady:
Oh, I hadn't seen your last post.
About IE please read my post No. 19.
I will now run AdwCleaner and JunkwareRemovalTool.
No, cannot install them, the pc is too slow. Tomorrow then. BullGuard blocked the JRT site but I assume that's a false positive?
Boggin:
I've had Norton block AdwCleaner before now as a false positive.
JRT now belongs to MBAM but there are a number of sites you can download it from http://lmgtfy.com/?q=jrt+download
Of those, I would trust bleepingcomputer.com, the MBAM link, filehippo.com, majorgeeks.com and techspot.com
The block may be site specific.
If AdwCleaner and JRT don't find anything or IE still fails to open after running them, then use the link to re-register IE or from an elevated cmd prompt, see what a sfc /scannow reports.
Lady:
Just a thought: the way I see IE trying to open which is similar to when the pc is slow and I try to install a program made me think: isn't IE a big program like Firefox which would use a LOT of memory space and therefore cannot even open?
