Besides eliminating 'scumware', spyware, that loads the CPU to the point of
saturation, is there any other checklist to use, say, on the Taskmaster
"Processes Running" tab, that would increase performance of XP? I don't know
how to recognize junk when I see it, so I'm afraid to stop any process that
is running. XP gives you a scary warning message if you attempt to stop any
process. Somebody, surely, has written a kind of 'checklist' of procedures
one should follow to restore performance to a sluggish XP. If there is such
a document available, I'd like to know about it. I don't think my Grandkids'
computer is back to full speed yet, although I think it is running at around
80% since I was advised to run Ad-Aware...and did. Amazing how so many of
those 'mini' programs running in the background rob your CPU of resources.
CPU was showing 100% saturation! Also, does anyone know of a way to make
Ad-Aware or any other good Spyware run routinely at a predetermined time?
(Like the XP Task Scheduler does)
