Slow system

Defragged lately? That will be a simple solution. Then
check your drivers in Hardware Devicee. Any with the '!'
symbol (with yellow surround background)?

Download and run Adaware (free version) from
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
It detects and safely removes dataminers, tracking
cookies, dialers, BHO's and other objects from your
computer. Use "webupdate" before you scan to make sure
you have the latest ref file (open Adaware and click on
the globe or "Check for Updates Now"). The ref files are
updated frequently - sometimes several times a week. Run
a "full scan"
