    Hi my pc is fuct all of a sudden
    Win 7 sixty four bit version
    6 gb ram i7 processor
    Slow and crashes over nothing
    I never go onto dodgy sites very careful with what I dl
    I don't understand it - writing this on my iPod
    Currently doing an AVG scan on safe mode
    Any thing else I can add here ? I don't know where a virus would cone from
    I never go to dodgy sites all my tv films is from newsgroups
    - but today I did use bit torrent fir a while - could that be it ?

    Give Malwarebytes a go in safe mode aswell and one of the AntiVirus companies online scanners, Trend Micro or Kasperskys maybe.

    As suggested, download, update and run MalwareBytes. If nothing is found, you can try running a sytem restore.

    Thanks guys, have returned to some normality after doing a scan in safe mode - might also give malware bytes a go - anyway whatever happens after this i will do a dual boot with Ubuntu :)
