Windows 7 Home Premium w/ Problems
Hello Again . I am not sure where my problem lies but there are a few . Mostly the system is alwa waiting for cache, after just a few minutes after opening, it will slow to a crawl and often lock up and many time when I try to shutdown, a message pops up saying it can not shutdown because waiting for a program to close but , I never have a program open . I do have a program called PC Matic installed but I started having problems a few week before installation . Thanks and I sure hope someone can help me with this one !

See no one came by, Holidays I guess.
Try running File Repair: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833 Lets start there. |

you can also try doing a system restore to a restore point prior to when the problem started.

Renagade 600 I did try to do restore but did not help . I did notice also that where I am using a Program called PC Matic, it appears that the only restore points is the ones that it creates . Thanks

personally I would get rid of pc matic and see if it helps imo, it is nothing but snake oil. I would never recommend any type of cleaning software. They tend to cause more problems than they fix.

I agree get rid of PC Matic it may of excabated the problem.
PC Matic is software which claims to be an optimizing tool with registry cleaning capability (click the Features tab) that purports to improve performance, make repairs, enhance the speed of a computer, remove viruses and prevent malware infections. PC Matic does not come with anti-virus protection which can find and remove malware as the TV advertisements indicate. The Overview tab says it provide protection against threats by utilizing a white list that only allows trusted applications to run. If you read the information under the Features tab on the vendor's website it only says the product protects against modern security threats...and it doesn't say how. What they fail to tell customers is that their product has high false positive rates. They have a history of poor support and claims.: http://www.complaintslist.com/comput...ware/pc-matic/ http://www.amazon.com/PC-Pitstop-PCM...ews/B0046ZLW1G http://spywarehammer.com/index.php?t...1414#msg151414 Then I would install and run Malwarebytes free version: https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/ Scroll down to bottom of page. When installing look for the window that has a box checked Install Trial Version (something like that) UNCHECK otherwise you will be pestered to buy and the trial period will end. It's Free, no need for the Premium. |

1. Open Windows Task Manager
Right click on the Taskbar then select Start Task Manager 2. See if there is a Processes called something like: PCPitstopScheduleService.exe If its there highlight and End Process 3. Start > All Programs > PC Pitsop > PC Matic > run "uninstall PC Matic" 4. In Add/remove Programs uninstall anything there (if you haven't done that yet) 5. Now go to C:\Program Files\PCPitstop\PC Matic double click on the file unins000 Now do a search and if found delete it: PCPITSTOPSCHEDULESERVICE.EXE-113B56AD.pf |
