hello, I'm relatively new to this forum so forgive me if I miss something, i'm incredibly desperate.
I have a laptop tablet PC that is around 4-5 years old.
fujitsu lifebook T series t5010 running windows vista business .
processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53GHz
RAM: 4.00GB
32- bit OS
model #: LBT5010-AJ005D1F1
a few days ago my computer suddenly started to lag at spontaneous intervals and occasionally freezing up
it also applies to all the programs i open and use, such as mozilla, messenger, skype, etc.
it also affects windows explorer as well, every time i navigate to a new folder it slows down, freezes temporarily, and then continues. sometimes it will stop working as well.
i've gotten two BSODS already and suddenly, although it hasn't happened again yet.
my computer has also suddenly shut itself down while i was in the middle of using it.
I suspect a virus, but I'm not sure.
what i've already tried:
-system restore to a time where i could still use my computer normally (didn't work)
- ccleaner to clean up registry (sped things up but still nothing)
- various antivirus scanners (quick scans so far, in process of full scans) including avast antivirus, malwarebytes, superantispyware and tdsskiller.
(some programs tdss found i am not completely sure if they are really viruses so if i could have some way to confirm that it would be useful
i HAVE found some threats, rootkits i think, that i cleaned up quickly, but no change.)
-sfc scan
-safe mode: i can boot into it, but sometimes explorer freezes up and has to restart itself during safe mode too. however, everything is a lot faster.
None of these has worked.
Please help!
