    Recently, I have noticed that my laptop has been running slower. Also have noticed that I have had to restart it to be able to use the wifi at my university. Same thing goes when I return from home to use the wifi there. Right now I am scanning my computer using Malware bites and Superantispyware. The malware bites scan is still under process. But my spyware has completely gotten rid of some tracking cookies. I've noticed my browser pages were extremely slow this morning. That is what caused me to start scanning.

    The Malewarebytes scan came up empty.

    What do you mean by a reboot?

    Reboot means restart the computer . . . properly or course.

    If the computer is still running slower than normal, recommend starting with these instructions and then posting the requested log(s) in our Malware and Virus Removal forum.

    After your computer has been given a clean bill of health by one of our malware experts, if you are still having the same issue then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve the problem.

    I have tried downloading the DDS and it says it can't run in compatibility mode or something.
