Hi, I recently had a virus problem which was fixed right here on this excellent site :thumbup: Since the time that I ran some of the programs to scan my machine, my machine is running very very slow :pullhair: Previously I could play mp3 player + Photoshop+Flash+Illustrator and have IE open and Google Talk :thumbup: But now when I open Photoshop and mp3 playing in the background the music starts to break up and so does photoshop. IE is very slow and so is FF. Basically my multitasking is not working. Any ideas? I have 2 GB RAM 512 VGA Plenty of free space Any help would be appreciated :wall: Ishar :pullhair:
