Well, usually when i record my videos on il2 with FRAPS, it has about 30 FPS, which is pretty good, but now, for no reason, it goes right down to 1,then climbs to about 20 and stays there, I've changed game settings, Fraps' settings, and deleted 3 viruses with McAfee but nothing works. thanks in advance.

(If this is in the wrong topic, sorry but nothing else seemed to fit this issue)

First off, you're on the right track with the scans. Second, GET RID OF MCAFFEE!!! McAfee is one of the WORST AV programs out. It and Norton are both huge resource hogs. You'll be much better off getting a free AV like AVG. Much smaller footprint and doesn't bog your system down. When I've helped others with this problem, 9 times out of 10 it has been either McAfee or Norton causing the slow downs. Once removed, all was fine.

Don't remove it until you are 100% sure your system is clean. Some (A LOT) of viri will leave a small bit of code as a rootkit that will redownload the virus and reactivate after a period. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few days or even weeks. They try to give you a false sense of security and then they hit you again when you think you are safe.

I believe I posted on another topic like this with step-by-step instructions on how and what programs to use to clean your system.

Just use your SearchFu and you'll be fine.

S!
