Been having an issue playing any DVDs without them "clipping" I guess you would call it. Stopping and then starting. Now it's happening with any video; YouTube, downloaded films etc. This is in addition to a general slowness on the notebook, especially when opening Word, Excel etc..

Currently running AVG Free.

Thanks in advance for your help!

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time or two.

Next:

• Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot.
