Hello, I installed eset nod32 anti virus once I installed windows 7 professional. The trial ended and suddenly my internet speed became erratic. I uninstalled eset and installed avast. As soon as I did this I couldn't access the file tree on the left of any window. Yet if I use internet download manager's file browser everything works just fine, otherwise it searches forever for the file tree.
i use a usb adapter on a pc tower and that's the pc I'm having trouble with. I tested the usb adapter on a laptop (i disabled the built in wireless adapter first), and it works better than my laptop. And when I mean erratic the network I'm on wifi is capable of giving me 2 mb/s but I can only dl at about 20 kb/s now. And from time to time it disconnects me from the network.
I've been running eset rescue disk for 7 hours and the file tree remains active, of course this is linux and not windows 7, but at least it's not a hardware issue.
Another odd issue I'm having is windows tells me now that my ssd is fragmented to 54%. I defragged the ssd just in case, but no it didn't help at all, no surprise, I shouldn't have to defrag an ssd right?
I ran eset anti virus, updated to latest signature, and ran an in depth scan, I let it run over night, and now in the morning I'm not getting any virus signature. Except for the adaware toolbar for chrome, which I got from their adaware website, eset states that it's unwanted application.
Before I ran eset I ran Kasperksky anti virus rescure disk, it didn't find anything.
I used yumi.exe the universal usb installer, it's a self contained exe program that allows me to pick eset anti virus rescue disk and select the iso image and copy it with a boot page onto my usb stick, which I'm using right now, could it some form of hacking tool ? I got two positives on virus total, but I never heard of the anti virus programs, they almost appeared to be made up names.
My pc tower's system is.
dell t1600.
