is problem after update just a coincidence

[Exhumator]

Hi, Since an automatic update on the 13th my vista 64 bit operating system is

not functioning properly! First thing I noticed on the reboot was that there

wasn't any sound coming from my speakers, yet it wasn't in mute mode and

nothing showed up in device manager! Tried to reboot the PC to see if that

helped but it was then that I realised that how slow that system had become,

I have a quad core intel CPU and 8GB of DDR3 so it was very noticable how

slow it had become! Tried a system restore to a previous point when I knew it

was running correctly but it failed to restore to any other point! Ran anti

virus and spy ware scans but nothing has shown up! Media player won't play

anything, explorer 8 opens up a page twice and stops working and I've no idea

what esle to try to solve my problem! Please help me!

Hello Exhumator,



It would be a good idea to scan.



I recommend downloading and installing

MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) and

SUPERAntiSpywaÑÂe (SAS).



Do a full scan with MalwaÑÂeBytes' and

SUPERAntiSpywaÑÂe.





After the software (SAS) is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in

Safe Mode.



Reboot

After the software is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in

Regular Mode.



Reboot

-=-

Once downloaded, close all programs and windows on your computer.



Both free versions of MBAM and SAS are on-demand scanners and offer no

'real-time' protection. Keep them installed and use them as

'second-opinion' scanner which is purposely (by design) recommended by

their respective authoÑÂs.

Using Internet Explºrer, have the system scanned here:

Please let us know what fixes the problem or if the pÑÂoblem remains

Good luck
