Hi all, from newbie to the forum

I would like some advice please.

Even while typing this message, I have to wait 15 - 60 seconds for Vista to respond to keystrokes and clicks.

This is random, no specific program is running, even when there is only one application open, still, vista will get stuck. This is becoming really annoying.

System:
Acer Travelmater 7320 Laptop
Intel Celeron 550 2.0Ghz 533MHz FSB
2GB DDR2
160GB HDD


Windows Vista Business SP2

Good! You might want to run the full scan at least one more time, just to be sure all the nasties are gone. But, assuming that you've cleaned it, we can mark this resolved. (Y)

This topic is now resolved. Moved to Resolved Topics.
