Does your computer take forever to startup?
To remove these programs refer to last weeks page @
Did it used to start much faster when it was new?
You can speed up most computers by cleaning them up or
adding additional RAM (Random Access Memory) but you
want to make sure you choose the right option.
If you want to see if your computer is being slowed by
excess processes running in the background, try this quick
test (Windows XP or 2000 only):
- Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to launch the Windows Task Manager
- Look at the bottom left-hand corner for the number
of Processes running
The lower the number, the more resources Windows has to
execute your desired commands.
If The Number Is More Then 35-40 On A Desktop Computer
Or 40-45 On A Laptop Computer, You May Need To Have
Your System Examined To Determine If The Excess Processes
Are Malicious Hidden Programs Or Unnecessary Items
That Are Dragging Down Your Computer's Performance.
These excess processes could include:
- Hidden Spyware And Adware Programs
- Silent Identity Stealing Trojans
- Viruses and Self Spreading Worms
- Unneeded Programs
- Unneeded Auto-Launchers
- Excess Printer Drivers
- Excess Digital Camera Programs
- Excess Programs Loading at Startup
