I recently ran a SCAN thru McAfee to see what my problem was with my pc, Windows XP. It's running really slow, and bogs down all the time. Their scan showed a few problems a couple I have fixed the others I don't know what to do. I realize I have little
RAM, 384,1.81GHz, my processor is AMD Sempron, and the free space on the C Drive is 137GB. The errors are:1- BROKEN STARTUP ITEMS: which may slow the startup processes 2- NET CRAWLER: files and folders search option may need to be adjusted to optimize the
search process while on line 3- CD AUTO DETECT STATUS: the CD/DVD features are not set properly which could cause issues w/operation and 4- DEVICE AUTO DETECT: the computer may not recognize the external drives. A few days ago I did a system recovery, hoping
this would help speed up the pc, but I can't really tell a big difference. I changed from Service Pack 2 to Service Pack 3, and also downloaded the newest Java both of which McAfee suggested. Also, should my windows firewall be up since I am using McAfee?
That was suppose to be 1 of the issues, so I turned it back on. Any help sure would be appreciated!
