Comments for What Slows Windows Down?

Yeah , If someone use Windows Vista with these software , then performance will increase instead of decreasing.

awesome, very helpful.
angers me that i love nice fonts though :(

Dear god. McAfee can take a fast PC and make it into slag. The Updates come at midday, and if your computer dosent wake up, and do and update, and a scan, after lunch @ work, and when you get home can take from 45 mins to 2 Hrs +.

I have since switched to Avira, Spybot, and AdAdware. cut my boot/unhib times to minues.

What About AVG and ZoneAlarm

Very nice, thanks a lot!

My PC tech teacher just gave this link to me and I've recently removed Norton and McAfee(Yes, I had both--don't ask) and a multitude of other programs that bogged stuff down.




From PC's for Dummies(and my teachers):

Replace McAfee and Norton with:

Spyware Blaster and AVG anti-virus free edition(they're both free and they make a nice couple).

and use Ccleaner(free) to blow out unneeded processes, crap files, and other junk that builds up in your PC.

I find the Tea Timer (from SpyBot S&D) from Spybot to be one of the most useful anti malware applications I have. If ANYTHING in the registry is changed I can allow or disable the change

It seems to me that Avast anti-virus slows the system down even more than McAfee

Your image is false. I have a trial copy of Norton that came with my new computer and it runs fine, no slow down at all. My games run at blazing fast frame rates with minimal lag.
Seriously, stop making stuff up about Norton, it's not a bad program, you just need common sense and have to set up net restrictions for it. Then it's fine.

WHAT ? ITS A KNOW FACT THAT NORTON INTERNET SECURITY RUNS SLOW AND ALWAYS HAS, YOU REALLY ARE STUPID IF YOU USE THAT.. THE ANTI VIRUS ISNT AS BAD BUT INTERNET SECURITY IS TERRIBLE SO HUSH!

GOOD ARTICLE BTW OLI
