Something keeps sapping the paging file
« on: August 03, 2004, 10:12:44 PM »
I'm working on a friends computer because it was totally loaded with spyware from his kids, well i deleted and uninstalled a lot of it but it still runs really slow.  I increased the paging file size and it just eats that up right away.  I'm assuming its a virus because i can't install norton at all, it always prevents the installation.  Also when i try and do a boot scan with norton it wont' really scan the computer, it can't seem to find the c:.  Nor when i'm in dos mode and boot off the cd drive I cannot find the c:, it always says invalid drives.  Anyone have any help out there?  Any ideas on what I can do without reformatting the whole thing?  Thanks!
