Avast Problem

[bob3160]

okey but how do i fix these things with slow loading/not loading?

Hopefully you have an image backup available that was created before you allowed Advanced System Care
"fixed" your computer and can restore it to that state.

Please try not to use slang terms or text speak as I am a silly old duffer

You have MSES on at the moment running.  When you try to install Avast what errors do you get ?

I see that you have not yet installed SP1 and are still running IE8 I would recommend upgrading both to enhance your security

actually,I Never had any errors when i installed avast
and i'll re install it right now.(hopefully it will give me same license that i had before uninstallation without using 3rd computer in the license)

oh and yeah few months ago when i installed windows update SP1 my computer was laggy as hell and i had to re install windows to fix that so i'm afraid to download that update.More like instead of afraid it would be "not sure".

[essexboy]

Prior to updating to SP1 it may be worth running the system update readiness tool http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=20858
This will ensure that the system is OK prior to installation

[782458]

okey.I'm downloading that
and i installed and putted inside my license.
so it used 2nd computer in license now?because i uninstalled it once(yesterday) and one computer was not used

[essexboy]

Yes it is only active installations that count on the licence

[782458]

now it says this

Initializing installation... done!
Installing Hotfix for Windows (KB947821) (update 1 of 1)...

and the loading bar is almost at the end but it doesn't move at all for now.I'll edit this post when it's done.

EDIT:

It installed successfully now i go to reboot computer because i need to reboot it to install avast completely

[782458]

now my computer is a lot SLOWER because of the UPDATE
what can i do now to fix that lagg and slow loading/boot ?

also to comment avast core version is  130805-0
and program version is 8.0.1489

and for some reason i don't see avast icon,it looks like this

[essexboy]

For the lag clear all the temporary files and defrag the hard drive, there is also the possibility that "fixing" the registry with Iobit may have damaged the system

[782458]

it went 4 hours already now it's at pass 10 consolidated 3%

it's done i'm going to reboot the computer.

[essexboy]

That means it was severely fragmented, even at the worst mine only hit 5 passes

[782458]

ok but my computer is still slow and the updates made it slow...
what should i do now?

and i can see service pack 1 is available to download in updates too

[essexboy]

You have Iobit and torrent starting with the system , these take up resources during the startup phase also I should imagine that torrent is searching for files/updates on start as well.  I would recommend disabling both from the start up

Once everything is installed  then run the windows boot speed manager

Download the SDK web installer from here
Run the installer and select the following:

Leave the location to default


Windows Performance Toolkit 


You must reboot on completion of the install

After reboot set aside about 30 minutes when you will not need the computer

When ready start an elevated command prompt :

Go Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator

Then copy and paste the following command into the black box :

xbootmgr -trace boot -prepSystem -verboseReadyBoot



Now your PC will be restarted 6 times. With a two minute pause before the tool runs after the desktop loads
After the second reboot the MS defragmentation program is running and is placing the files into an optimized layout, so that Windows will boot up faster
The last Reboots are training of readyBoot. After the training is finished, you'll notice a huge improvement in startup.

Readyboot

The logical prefetching described above is used when the system has less than 512MB of memory. If the system has 700MB or more then an in-RAM cache is used to further optimize the boot process (it’s not clear from the book whether or not this ReadyBoot cache completely replaces the logical prefetching approach or just builds on it, my assumption is that both work together).
After each boot the system generates a boot caching plan for the next boot using file trace information from up to the five previous boots which contains details of which files were accessed and where on the disk they were located. These traces are stored as .fx files in the
