Couple of suggestions to add to the stuff everyone else mentioned:
1. remove unwanted programs from starting up: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and C:\Documents and Settings\ "your profile" \Start Menu\Programs\Startup 2. Check registry keys for unwated programs and remove them. (start => run => msconfig may be an easier way to do this) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run 3. If you have over a GB of files sitting on your desktop, your PC will boot really slowly. Moving files to a directory on your C: drive will speed up the boot time of your PC. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPYWARE, VIRUSES, ETC. It's nearly impossible to stay on top of this crap. The best suggestion I have for solving this problem is not to use Windows at all (OSX is not susceptable to viruses or spyware) The best suggestions I have for protecting your PC are: 1. Keep your PC patched with the latest windows updates. 2. Use Firefox as your web browser. 3. Get a router with a hardware firewall 4. Avoid installing Peer to Peer software like (Limewire, Morpheus, etc.) -----------------------------------------------------------------
