Windows running slow

[Mark Buhler]

After I downloaded a bunch of critical updates i noticed
a big difference in my pc performance.

When i login my login sound ssssllooowwws down then
speeds up again.

The same thing happens with music files and it also
effects my video performance in games.

When I move windows around the screen quickly they
studder when they are moving around the screen.

Run an updated virus scan.
Or Scan for Viruses online:

Run Disk Cleanup checking all boxes except "Compress old files"
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Clean-up
Run Defrag.
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Defragmenter
If you have file sharing software such as Kazaa, disable it.
Check this link:

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:
