Kill all unneccessary processes, you're comp's probably a lagwhore infested with like 200 spyware and adware programs.
I have a P3 500mhz laptop, and that doesn't even lag with firefox.
Yes, spyware can cause even the fastest of computers to lag.Quote:

@BrolyBoo, run AdAware and Spybot in "safemode with networking enabled".
Then run Microsoft AntiSpyware in windows' regular mode to find anything else that may have slipped past the other 2 scans.
ok, this is what happened
i got a virus so i rebooted my computer
then, when i run firefox and move down a page and it lags
and then, when i move any window, it still lags wtf
how can i fix it?
btw, i didnt adaware and spybot

If you do mean rebooted, then you might wanna get rid of that virus first, then run adaware/spybot.
So you got rid of the virus.Quote:

After the AV scan, download/install Adaware (latest version is SE v1.6 SR1) and Spybot Search & Destroy (latest version v1.4) and scan with both.
After that, go to http://www.paretologic.com/products/xoftspyse/ and click the Free Scan button. XsoftSpy will let you know if there's anything nasty left behind.
yay, fixed
God bless you Chewie!!!
Why would you need to?Quote:
