    My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

    Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
    Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

    Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
    Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix

    Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    Remove Bueno Search (Removal Guide)

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........

    Does clean restarting your whole PC remove Viruses and malware?

    Pc viruses

    My uncle brought me an old pc that has tons of malware and viruses ( he never used an anti virus).

    What i was going to do was wipe the HDD clean then reinstall the os but i guess he has a lot of pictures and files he needs.

    So how would i go about deleting all the bad stuff ?

    I was going to do a few passes in safe mode with
    malwarebytes
    superantispyware

    i will also try to get him to buy a copy of kaspersky once it gets cleaned out.

    i need some suggestions if what i will be doing is right
