    super slow down

    I have a laptop that's several years old now. It has Windows XP Pro SP 3 on it. It had been working just fine until a month or two ago, but just recently, it started slowing down so much. I've run several spyware/virus programs both in and out of safe mode. They've found a few things, but it didn't fix the problem. I've done a disk cleanup and disk defrag, but it's still intermittently slow. I have noticed there's a random SYSTEM task running in task manager. I've also noticed that when I open Internet Explorer, two iexplore.exe tasks open in task manager. Any suggestions?

    super slow down

    The "system" process is normal. Internet Explorer sucks and is slow. My suggestion would be to use Firefox or Opera.

    Run HJT and post a log.

    With desktops I don't usually recommend reformatting unless it's too impractical to solve in another way. With laptops I'm much quicker to say, "just reformat", and given this case I shall say it again, "just reformat".
