Hi,

I need help with my startups to speed up windows. Recently, my computer starts up extremely slow.

Also, Spybot found this "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusOverride" in my computer. Every time I deleted it, the next time it will be there again. I always have ZoneAlarm and AVG running; however, recently Windows security center every now and then detects that there is either missing firewall or antivirus program.

I need help on this. Thanks!

Since this is probably malware related, go to the Spyware / Malware / Virus Removal forum, read the info there and follow the posted directions. Once you receive a clean bill of health, come back here if you have any additional questions or concerns or it turns out not to be a malware problem.

Please be patient as that is a very busy area. If you do not receive a response in 3 days, post a message here: http://forums.whatthetech.com/What_Do_If_Y…ays_t78698.html
