Ok for you pc know it alls i will tell you what happend and let you laugh a little.

when your done let me know wtf i need to do.

I was playing css about 4 months ago and all hell with my pc broke lose.. It shut off and when i fired it up again i got the nice blue screen saying i had malware and i needed to install anti virus. well

1) i did go and buy the kaspersky anti virus.
2) the cd drive wouldnt open nor would it do anything
3) hard drive = toasted.

so im sitting thinking wtf am i going to do now? I have a friend that works at best buy and i was just going to buy an all new system... i was told by the geekf*cks at best buy no problem we can have it out in a few days..

i got all my info backed up. and all the virus's removed.
then they call me back and tell me yea your hard drive = f*cked. like it wont respond to anything.

so they replaced it with a 500gb hard drive and i still have 3 gigs of ram..

so heres my issue.. im getting 1480kbps thru broadband and yet my pc is slow as f*ck. I have all the kaspersky settings to a medium setting (default) so this sh*t wont happen again.. when i turned it off durring a speed test i only got an extra 280. so thats not the issue.. its the xp i think. i feel like this f*cking thing is bottle necked.

also** i get this icon in the lower right of my screen and for some strange reason it wont dl..

NONE OF THIS WILL DOWNLOAD. UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD i have gone to microsoft and tried to do it manually.

any ideas or walk throughs i can do to fix this? i know it shouldnt be that much faster with all the storage.. but f*ck.. i had to wait 6 min just for this screen im typing on now to come up.. downloads are stupid.. i download something and go to work for 6-8 hours and prey its done when i get back. its not my internet connection,

wtf!!!!!!!! do i do?

thanks for any info you guys have.. i know shadow runs kaspersky or did at one time and seemed to like it.. are there settings i need to fix?

thanks in advance

Kill Yourself, best thing you could do.

Weird sh*t. Maybe virus, maybe hardware problem somewhere.

My advice, backup your sh*t and format your drive. Formats are necessary once in a while. I usually have all my prog's (about 40 or some sh*t) reinstalled in about 6 hours total time from start of reformat. Wakeup this sat. morning w/all ur sh*t good to go backed up and prog's dl'ed already to be reinstalled, format, and start over. If you still get something wrong w/ur comp right after you format, then idk wtf to tell u lol.

fucking lulz^^
and besides what snipr said then i would just stick with shadow's advice..

Kill yourself for going to best buy to have a computer problem fixed. They are the WORST people you could have to fix your sh*t. Always have a friend do it, pay him 30 bucks and it will work 200 times better than what geeksquad can do.

[Sniprwulf]

I don't think geeksquad is the worst by any means. They do a decent job actually; however charge a ridiculous premium for it. I never would go there; but I guess since he knows people it definitely isn't the worst thing ever.

Boost... first thing I would do personally is open the pc and see how f*cked up it is... second I would reformat that thing in 2 seconds. Back up your sh*t and BAM... should fix all your problems. You said you had another hard drive put in so I dont know if they just copied over your os or did a fresh install but it sounds to me that your XP or Vista OS is shot to hell. If that dont work.. well.. I would can the pc, canibalize it for all the good hardware, buy a barebones pc, and make it run better than what you had with your old hardware (if compatable). Usually when I start getting slowness and problems I do the reformat. Ive been lucky lately and havent had to do it in some time, but its a b*tch...
