    Hi,
    my pc have been acting up. Before, i can download files and multi-task with no problems. Now when I download a file, my computer gets really slow and laggy. It doesn't matter how big the files are. even a small file will cause the slow down.

    it sounds like you have spyware or malware, try these powerfull online scanners
    by the way you need to use internet explorer to run these scanners
    Trend Micro's House call
    http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

    Panda's Active scan
    http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm

    Bitdefender Online virus scan
    http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html

    Symantec's security check
    http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/defau...id=ie&venid=sym

    Macafee's free scan
    http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp

    F-secure scanner
    http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml

    Etrust Web Scanner
    http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx

    Kaspersky Anti-Virus: Free Online Virus Scanner
    http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

    They only require for you to install an Active X, usually you need to be browsing with Internet Explorer at the time to use them, Trend Micro's House call is very effective indeed, as are a lot of the others, run one once a month.

    The main question is: did your problem start suddenly, or gradually?

    "Suddenly" indicates an error, possibly caused by malware or other software.

    "Gradually" indicates a buildup of errors, which is most probably due to an unmaintained PC.

    Best Regards :D

    I would say suddenly,
    this never happened before, i use to be able to download and do other stuff freely. Now my pc gets really slow when ever i download anything
    or when load a site with java-scripts page.

    I'm still working on the scans. I've ran a few already and a Defrag.
    I run defrag atleast 2x a month.

    please try at least one of the scanners, a whole scan not a quick one and restart your pc afterwards and get back to us and tell us if it has fixed your problem
