My computer has become extremly SLOW especially during start up (took 15min to boot up yesterday a.m. – YIKES!) -_- Zzzzzzzzz . . . Plus it is VERY loud during this slow time (sounds like it's gonna blow up – NOT JOKING) :unsure: and also during this very loud, very slow time, it runs right at 100% CPU. :rant2: If I pull up the list of processes running there are like 73-79 of them running. I have personally gone looking each of them online and they all appear to be legit with the exception of waol.exe (?) :scratch: some sites say it is part of AOL software, others warn it could be a virus but I am not aware enough to know who to believe so I decided to leave it alone until I hear back from you. I really am hoping you can help. Please let me know if there is any further info you need. THANKS SOOOOO MUCH in advance.
