I went camping for two days, and the minute before I left for camp my computer was running completely normal. I come back and my computer is ridiculously slow. It just happened out of nowhere, and my other computer, which happens to be on the same router, is a little slow. It seems to me that this must be something more than a natural slowdown... like my computer has been attacked. I ran a virus scan and all that was found was some trojans which are now gone. I ran a spyware scan and 3 spyware clients were found which are now gone. Also, by coincidence, my hard-drive is now down to roughly 1 gig of memory. What I'd like to know is: 1) Does this sound like my computer has been attacked? 2) Do you think it could have anything to do with my HDD's low memory? All responses are greatly appreciated.
