Hi
I am trying to help a friend of mine fix his computer. It has been running very slow. I have exhausted all resources that I know of and it is still not right. We have used system defrag & cleanup and a registry repair software. System defrag stops before completing the process with an error message that says "lost connection..." :?: (not sure what that is all about either). With AVG, there are no viruses detected, so I am at a loss. Posting this log is the only other thing I know of to resolve it. ;) Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Lora
