I've been getting this crap several times a day and the only solution is restarting - which we all know is a pain in the * and incredibly slow. I'm tired of dealing with it, so I'm asking here if any of you have encountered this problem and have a solution for it. Basically my whole computer lags up, everything takes up to 10 seconds to respond once I do something. Typing in Notepad is like a DDOS attack. However, oddly enough, my internet browser ALWAYS works regularly regardless. Notepad++ used to, but it just got the epic lag too. Don't tell me "well if all you do is browse the internet then don't worry about it", because I'm a developer (Notepad++) and I need that program to work so I can do my work.

You may have SpyWare in your computer. If you do, I strongly recommend you get these two programs to help remove them from your computer: Malware Bytes SpyBot - Search & Destroy You may have a virus in your computer, in which case using a reputable Anti-Virus solution would be a good idea. There are many to choose from, and I particularly like this one because it has a very low memory footprint and doesn't drain resources with silly things like a fancy user interface or waste my time with ridiculous pop-ups that aren't related to virus protection: F-Prot Anti-Virus Another common cause of those symptoms is that your computer doesn't have enough RAM and/or your hard drive is fragmented and needs to defragmented (the one that comes included with Windows is more than adequate for most people). Over the years I've had experiences with a few failing hard drives that gradually slowed down for a few months before they stopped working. I strongly recommend that you get full backups of your data before you do anything else with your computer. | |||
