After 2.5 years, my Dell XPS has become too slow. I use all of the spyware (Ewido, AdAware, and Spybot) and virus apps. (E Trust Internet Security Sutie) and have never had a virus. I use CleanUp! and WindowWasher and Registy Mechanic to no avail. I think the registry has simply gotten too huge. It is time to do a clean install of XP Pro.

Ok this is starting to get really annoying. I do not understand why my computer is so slow. I have used Disk Clean Up and Disk Defragmenter after it was done scanning my computer it was still slow. I have used some programs to get rid of unnecessary files. The free programs I have used are Ccleaner and Glary Utilities it scanned my whole computer and it was still slow. Then I bought 2 programs that are called Registry Booster and Registry Fix 7, and these are not freeware, I scanned my whole computer and it was still slow. So then I started to suspect I had a virus, so I went out to buy ann anti-virus, it was called Avast Internet Security 2009. I had many viruses so then Avast took care of every single virus. But still my computer is slow what could possibly be the problem? I have many programs installed on my computer, and it was working fine and it was fast, then at some point my computer got slow, can someone PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!

My "Protection Programs":

1.)Auslogics BoostSpeed – performance booster
2.)Malwarebyte’s Anti-Malware – Spyware/malware scanner
3.)AVG 8 Internet Security – Virus scanner
4.)Registry Easy – Registry cleaner

if im getting the same company’s virus protection again, do i have to uninstall the old one?

like lets say you have mcafee and you get another mcafee but a different version. like internet security or 360.
