Freak, You can also try running your configuration utility (start, run, "msconfig"). By clicking on the startup tab, you can see all of the applications that start when you turn on your computer. If you have alot of junk running in the background, that can make you draga$$. Using msconfig, you can un-check all of the things that you do not wish to start right away. Things like media players and messenger services can be started manually, and horrid programs like Gator should be taken off startup, uninstalled, and deleted. Ad-Aware is a good spyware detection program. If you still use Kazaa, though, deleting the spyware that comes with that will cause a program error, and your free porn, um, music retriever will be no more. Be wary of un-checking anything you can't identify, as it could be important. But I'm sure you could have figured that out.
