Question. This just started happen to me about Three weeks ago. No matter when I .exe a program, or click on a web browser, it takes some time (Way too long) to react. I ran my "Nod-32" antivirus", and my "Malwarebites" program, and nothing worked. I have done that in the past, and it fixed it. But now I have no idea what's going on. If you all can help me out, I would be in your debt.
Thank You.

It auto defrags, and I always check to see if it has been done. And I have over 100 gigs left on my drive.

I had a similar problem a couple months ago: I'd start a program, and my PC would just sit and do nothing for 5-20 seconds, then behave as normal. This also happened with moving//renaming/deleting files in Windows Explorer. A restart woudl remedy it for a short time, but it always came back. Turns out a Windows Update was the problem, and it required an easy registry tweak to fix. Of course, I cannot remember which update it was. But if you're having the same issues, I'll dig through my browser history and I'm sure I'll find it again.
Have you tried turning your AV or any other scanners off, temporarily?

Yes, I have turned off all you mention, and ran a "Defrag" (It dose it once a week on auto) and nothing works. If you can find that history in your browser, that would sure work.......Thank You.

Run windows update. Sometimes windows update doesn't update automatically. Run it, install any important update and reboot. Also try clearing out your browser cache.

Windows 7 Pro. I have cleaned out all the cache on my Three Browsers, and checked windows update, but every thing has been done. I have absolutely no idea why this is going on...

Make sure you do not have Conduit Search on your computer. If you do remove it. Check on the web on how to remove Conduit. I didn't know I had in my computer until I did a complete system scan with Malwarebytes.

Forgive me for asking, but what is a "Conduit Search" and how would I remove it?? Like I said above, this just started around 3-4 weeks ago. I have done all that I can, (at least I think so) but it seems to be getting worse. I placed my win 7 disk in and did a repair, but still no good. G-D I don't want to do this, but I just may need re format the drive and start from Zero again...... And yes, I have run "Malwarebytes" three times now. but still no go.

Well I can't find the info i was looking for, but there a couple things to try.
Boto into Safe Mode by restarting, and after the first boot screen which shows your BIOS and/or splash screen, keep tapping F8 until you get the Safe Mode menu. Once you're in Safe Mode, try to move/copying files or launch a programs and see if it still happens. If all works as it should, then it's a software issue. Also try to uninstall your Antivirus. simply turning it off still leaves components running. When many AV programs are turned "off", all it does it is stop the active file scan. Alternatively, you can disable all the services it runs, though uninstalliing/reinstalling may be less of a pain for you.

A shot in the dark but try rebooting your modem.

Thank you all. I have already been through all your suggestions. Now I'm submitting a file to ESET-Nod-32 and see if they can help me with this issue....
