I have a windows xp computer that boots up really fast and it lets me get on my account no problem. I can then go on the internet (I use internet explorer) and it loads really fast. After about 7-10 minutes on the computer, this pop-up comes up and says "Win32 has failed". It gives me the option to send error report or not to, then it changes my browser back to like windows 98. The bars turn really blocky and it looks a lot different. Then it will change back after about a minute. Also, after this happens, if I search up something on google and click any link there, it will redirect me to these sites I have never heard of before. It won't let me go back and the only way to leave the page is to close the browser. I have used Malware Byte's anti-malware full scan several times and it says everything is alright. What can I do?

Malwarebytes looks for malware, and though it finds many viruses, it is not a full anti-virus product. You may be infected with some virus. Do a full virus scan with a proper AV product. Then scan again with Malwarebytes. No one product is 100% effective....

Most computers actually run slow because of a hidden part of your system, which is constantly being used by Windows. This part of your PC is called the "registry" and is the central database for Windows, which stores everything from your latest emails to your desktop wallpaper. It's one of the most important parts of Windows and can easily make your PC run slow.The more corrupt registry files your computer has, the more it struggles to read them.The files which makes it run slower and slower. To fix this, you simply need to use a registry cleaner http://best-way-to-improve-pc-performance.com . These are small software tools which actually work by scanning through the registry and fixing any bad files that are in there. This then allows Windows to read as many files as it wants, when it wants to.
