Can anyone tell me ANY ways, free programs, guides, or tips to make windows vista home premium, internet explorer, firefox, windows mail, limewire, itunes, aim6,windows searches, or any other virus/spyware removal programs , or any other big memory usage or slow programs faster! Also, any ways to make any programs use less memory or ram, and improve overall ram usage and memory usage!

The person that tells me the most ways that work gets ten points. Any and all tips or tricks, tweaks are appreciated!

I have 2 gigs of ram, i disk defrag/ cleanup/ registry clean,virus and spyware scan all the time!

Also, any tips on lowering cpu usage???

I know i downloaded one on my old computer that basically scanned my running processes, startup programs, installed software, hard drive, registry, etc. It allowed me to modify the appearance of my PC (via system files) as well as control whats on the installed programs list. IT allowed me to delete and process of anything i wanted to as well as identified potential virus and spyware threats (And delete them whether they were or not), my computer has 2 gigs of ram but is TOTALLY clogged up and i need the program to just wipe all the crap off it from deep in the computer as oppossed to trying to get XP to do it. I believe the program was freeware, does anybody know waht it was, or one like it?

It is a Dell Dimension 2400. It currently only has 128meg RAM (eek!). I just ordered 2 strips of 1 gig RAM so now it will have a total of 2 gigs of RAM when the shipment comes in. That should make a big difference right?
It runs Microsoft XP and it is very very very slow. Start-up of the computer takes about 45 minutes. Seriously.
I really don’t want to format the hard-drive. What else should I do once I get the new RAM installed?

I have a macbook 2.4 ghz and 2 gigs of ram running os x. I was wondering what a good virus protection program would be or if i even need one.
