My computer Loads slow and freezes

[Joseph]

I found two spyware in my windows add/remove folder
I could not remove them using add/ remove
I could not remove them using ad aware either
CasProg
GameBar Toolbar for IE


My computer has been loading from starting up and
operating very slowly. My applications have been
freezing.I have been told from Microsoft phone support
that could be from spyware or a virus. I have Norton anti-
virus but I am currently running Stinger anti virus check.

I have spybot search and destroy
ad aware
CWShredder
Hyjack this
Spyware Blaster

Which combination of programs will remove my offending
spyware and restore my computer to peak performance?
What am I missing?
I hate spyware!!!!

What can I do to improve system performance and speed?

Windows allows you to change the performance settings.
What settings are recomended?
To change the performance of foreground and background
programs
Open System in Control Panel.
On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
On the Advanced tab, under Processor scheduling, do one of
the following:
Click Programs to assign more processor resources to the
foreground program than the background program.
Click Background services to assign equal amounts of
processor resources to all programs.
Notes

To open System, click Start, point to Settings, click
Control Panel, and then double-click System.
Choosing the Programs option will result in a smoother,
faster response time for your foreground program. If you
want a background task, such as a Backup utility, to run
faster, choose the Background services option.
The Programs option allocates short, variable time slices,
or quanta, to running programs, while the Background
services option assigns long, fixed quanta.
