Not sure...

Post by oldboi »

Hey all, i am have some computer things goin on an not really sure wat ?
I regularly run scan's an stay away from suspect sites. It started with the page jumpin up an down on it's own.
Wat i have also noted is whilst playin i've bin gettin shot an i'm not seeing anyone around but then suddenly there is, an the loadin time has increased heaps, would this be caused threw my ping or something more sinister goin on ?
With the loadin thingy, it also happens wen goin onto the web, an loadin pages.
Not bein really pooter savy don't help, but does get annoyin sometimes. I do realize me aint great at the game, but i do enjoy an still have fun.
Any advice would be great, unfortunately help is expensive an advice seems to be confusin (pooter ppl don't speak my language).

You might have some sort of spyware or malware.

The best product I've ever seen is Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware. It's free and the only limitations are it doesn't do real-time or scheduled scans, you have to run scans manually.

I suggest downloading it and updating it, then running a quick scan. I usually do that and follow it up with a full scan if it finds anything.

You can find it here.

When you're done, if you like, uninstall it.

I also run CCleaner on my comp on a regular basis, it helps check for registry errors.

Here's a little info from their site:

"CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :)"

Thier website is http://www.ccleaner.com
