Remove spyware with:
Spybot Search & Destroy from www.security.kolla.de
Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com.
If you remove/disable the antivirus program, you are leaving yourself open
to all kinds of things out there!

BootVis. Contrary to the latest propaganda it does initiate and optimize the OS for faster boot times. It could shave up to 35 secs off yours. You should also make sure that all boot paths are valid. go>start\run\type in msconfig and then click the boot.in

ecessary services www.blkviper.com has a good setup for that. Make sure you have the boot optimizer turned on g0>start\run and type in regedit and click ok then navigate this route by clickin the + beside the entries in this order HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwa
re\Microsoft\DFRG\BootOptimizeFunction and make sure Enable is set to y in the right panel. Make sure your system is defragged and that you have run chkdsk. Get a good reg cleaner. and so on and so on. Good luck.
