u mite hav spyware installed...u can use spyware doctor as zegulas sed, u can also try microsoft anti spyware

maybe a lot of unnecessary processes r running in ur pc...do CTRL+ALT+DEL and select processes on top.

then go to www.processlibrary.com and see wich ones r useless and close them.

if ur toking about boot time, reduce the number of startup items by going to START>RUN and type msconfig

then go to the startup tab

[::cyborg::]

spyware and viruses is the only answer and its 100% guaranteed

defrag ur registry as well as ur hard disk.

Easy mate, just edit the previous post instead of posting it as a separate post from next time. These are some unsaid basic forum rules.

Hope you get the point.

[alib_i]

neeraj,
Your HijackThis Log is clean
and you've said you defragment and clean your drive regularly too ...
So I think nothing's wrong in this respect.

but you can think of turning OFF a few unneeded services ..
there are many threads in this respect available in the forum .. try searching a few.

[neerajkumar_4]

plz tell me clearly as to what should i do..??
and wat do u mean by threads????????

thanx in advance

[QwertyManiac]

^^
Threads are topics in other words

Disable any service u find useless in msconfig and services.msc

[neerajkumar_4]

thanx but i think all r useful 1s and it takes me around 10 -15 secs for my desktop ot load is it normal os not??

[QwertyManiac]

Its super normal ! Then y is ur comp slowww ?

[neerajkumar_4]

Dood y don't you edit your posts using Edit button?

[neerajkumar_4]

k thanx a lot guyssss hey and if i remove the tray icon will the NAV2003 detect virus threats, i mean the auto protect feature

[QwertyManiac]

Dude.. dont post consecutivelly... use the EDIT button u see...

NAV 2005 hogs more memory than the 2003... if u really want norton then go for the 2006 version.. its a lot faster than 2005 and is almost as good in speeds as 2003

also.. to disable the tray agent do this :
Norton Antivirus > Options > under the Autoupdate tab (ususally the first page) uncheck the box marked Show Auto-Protect icon in tray. and save thee settings

[neerajkumar_4]

which processs should i remove to stop NAV ???
