hello all
It seems I spoke too soon. I have rebooted 8 times over the last few days and sometimes Things go ok and other times it takjes about 5 minutes to get onto my wireless network without me doing anthing and the same problem with the red circle in the avast a ball is back. Has anyone got any further sugestions or would it be better to try another anti virus like AVG :'(
there are something wrong with your windows or some of your hardware drivers etc.
it's not easy to guess that from here without working with your computer, the best and safe solution is to try recover your windows if you have recovery disc, because with the current problems you have, even if you fix the current problem with your antivirus, there might be some problems in other part of windows.
as what I've seen, "Start-up" performance have some impact on how windows services run, for example some people says their programs icon randomly disappear from taskbar during startup, it only happen when we have a slow windows startup.
but, anyway, now, in the current installed windows try to download and reinstall all the hardware drivers from the manufacturer company.
some other solution which you might try:
-cleanup your registry, Auslogics Registry Cleaner is a good program to do that. Download it from
here.
-defragment your computer's hard drive. Auslogics Disk Defrag is good and fast program to do that. download it from
Here.
-remove unnecessary programs from windows startup, usually all programs have this option inside their options/settings/preferences.
