Good! Glad that worked for you.
A regular scan with antivirus/antimalware programs is recommended. If you
see a slow-down, that may be the cause. Running disk clean-up will take care
of all those temp files that build up.
I really don't do much on my Win7 or XP machines other than regular scanning
and I see no day-to-day changes. I watch where I surf, and make sure my
firewall and AV/AM programs are up to date.
