Hello,
my laptop has been slowing down more and more for some time now.
It’s not brand new, but it’s not that old either.
And until recently, it was fine.

I do try to run CCleaner regularly, and I sort through my startup panel, but there are more and more things I don’t recognize, which are supposed to be useful.
Anyway, if anyone can help me.

    Hi

    to see what’s running on your PC, do this and post the reports

    download FRST from (Fabar) to your desktop --> click here

    PS: make sure to take the one that corresponds to your PC (32 or 64 bits) --> click here

    run it as administrator (right click)

    at the end of the scan, the FRST and ADDITION reports will appear on your desktop and in C:\FRST\LOG

    post the reports via cjoint --> click here

    see you later

    free, but well, I don't remember when I installed it, initially it seemed to me that I had decided to stick with the Windows tools (light as protection, for sure, but in the past I had more problems with software incompatibilities than with viruses).
    I'm not even sure it was me who installed it, after all, I "don't live alone on this computer." So if it needs to be removed, I won't be sad about it!
    Before, I would create an admin account with a really strong password, and an internet account with very few permissions for everyday use. It protected against quite a few things, but since Windows 8 I don't know how to do it anymore.

    re

    ok, uninstall Avast using its uninstallation tool --> Avastclear --> click here

    also update Ccleaner (version 5.85) and you have 5.84

    I continue reading the reports

    you also have 1 leftover Mcafee --> McAfee® Central for HP -> C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\2703103D.McAfeeCentral_5.0.177.1_x64__4ehj4w4frejdr [2018-04-02] (.-McAfee Inc-.)

    uninstall it via programs and features in the control panel

    Good evening again,
    and thanks for the help
    it's done.
    By the way, while uninstalling McAfee, I see that I still have an Avast Secure Line VPN. Should I get rid of that too?

    You can, but I've included everything in the script that I'm going to finalize

    @ see you soon

    Good evening,

    I still have one page that won't open on Firefox, but otherwise I've restored normal speed.
    For the page, it opens on Edge, so it's nothing serious.

    Thank you

    hi

    ok, do this:

    right-click on FRST and rename it to uninstall.exe

    right-click on uninstall.exe, and choose "run as administrator"

    the pc will need to restart to complete the uninstallation of FRST

    remember to mark your topic as resolved --> click here

    thank you

    see you
