   Visit the 2 links below. 1st link read 7 quick fixes. 2nd link will inform you on software that needs updating or is no longer supported.

   3rd even thought you remove programs through the control panel they are still in your computer. Go to C > Programs Files > and delete the programs you no longer have installed.

   When you defrag it the temporary internet files, app downloads, etc. will give you the option to delete them. Go to control panel, performance and maintenance, and select rearrange items on your hard disk to make programs run faster.

   Consider this an excellent time to recognize that
   your operating system is defective. I recommend replacing
   it with one of:

   http://fedora.redhat.com
   http://www.centos.org
   http://www.opensuse.org
   http://www.debian.org
   http://www.ubuntu.org
   http://www.slackware.org
   http://www.freebsd.org
   http://www.opensolaris.org

   Any of these will be more reliable, less susceptible to
   viri, uses your hardware more efficiently, and they’re
   all free.

   The same way as for XP. They are both based on NT.

   Some progs you can try are:

   CCleaner

   Spybot Search & Destroy

   Ad-Aware

   TweakNow RegCleaner

   I use them all on my XP except I haven’t tried CCleaner yet. But I’ve heard nothing but good things about it.

   Also be sure to clean out your Cache, Cookies, Internet Files, etc.

   Once you have your computer clean THEN you can run Scan Disk and THEN Defrag. Then set a New Restore Point with a CLEAN computer.

   Hope this helps. Good Luck!
