Your computer running slow? Get Ad-aware or Spybot, and run them. You'd be surprised at the junk that gets put on your computer just by regular surfing, not even counting "other" sites. <br />Preferably use both programs to scan your drive once every week or two. <br />Just one thing though: <br />after they scan your hard drive and before you click to start the clean-up step, make sure that any of the files that say "Windows Media Player" anywhere in their names are <b>NOT</b> checked. (funny that a windows program comes up as spyware. hmmmm.) <br /> <br />But, these programs will remove all the crap that gets placed on your computer and loads into the computer's memory, thereby slowing it down. It's well worth the half hour a week. Run it while you eat dinner or watch a TV show. <br /> <br />These utilities are available at these 2 links: <br />[url]http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download[/url] <br />[url]http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/[/url]
