Computer becomes slow
If your computer has become very slow, it may be that you have a PUA running on and monitoring your computer. If you have on-access scanning enabled, you may also see many desktop alerts warning about a PUA. To solve the problem, do the following.
-
Run the
Scan my computer scan to detect all components
of the PUA. For information, see
Run a full computer scan.
Note: If after the scan the PUA is partially detected, refer to Threat partially detected, step 2.
- Clean the adware or PUA from your computer. To find out how to do this, refer to Deal with adware and PUAs in quarantine.
