    Invoice123:

    What's the model name and complete model number of that Hewlett Packard(HP) computer?

    What's the part/product number(P/N) on it?

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Do the following in that computer:

    Download and save the TSG System Information Utility (SysInfo.exe) file to the desktop.

    After it's been downloaded and saved, double-click it to run it.

    Information about your computer will appear.

    Return here to your thread, then copy-and-paste the ENTIRE text here.

    Ignore this advice for now until we can address the CPU usage and slowness issue.

    If you decide to get rid of Norton later, it needs to be done in 2 stages so there's no leftover "debris" from it.

    You haven't answered these 2 questions in the first part of post #6.

    I'm guessing you have a HP 110-014 or similar model desktop, but we need to confirm that.

    You should add another 4 GB of RAM to it.

    Go here, then click the large blue "Download Now @ Bleeping Computer" button to download and save AdwCleaner.exe to your desktop.

    Close all open windows first, then double-click AdwCleaner.exe to load its main window.

    Click the "Scan" button, then allow the scanning process to finish.
    (Note: Several seconds may pass before the scanning process starts, so be patient.)

    Click the "Logfile" button.

    When the log appears, save it.

    Return here to your thread, then copy-and-paste the ENTIRE log here.

    Note: After you submit the log, close AdwCleaner. When the warning appears, click "Yes".

    AdwCleaner does run in Windows 8 64-bit, so I don't know why you're having a problem with it.

    Thanks for confirming you do have a HP 110-014 desktop.
