In the past three years I had enough computer grief to kill a wild bull elephant in the field, trying to get and keep my PC running properly. I had to format-C about a hundred times to erase whatever was progressively slowing it down. Eventually I discovered that the "doubleclick" spy-trojan was mostly to blame for the slowness, and some of the glitches. There were moments I felt like heaving the whole thing right through the glass window. Eventually I found "Window Washer" and "AdAware", dumped McAfee AVS for Norton AVS, dumped "ZoneAlarm" for "NeoWatch", and opted to stay away from all those poorly developed booster and registry downloads which only seriously MESS-UP the operating system. I won't touch Kazza, Gozilla, triple-X and the like with a hundred foot pole. There are some real sticky PC wrecking nasties in surfing triple-x web pages that you can't easily get rid of without formatting-C, and pulling the battery and cards. Finally, now All the pain is totally over. Those two softwares (WW & AA) clean All the evils out of the PC, making it run at peak performance without any glitches what so ever. I added McAfee's "Uninstaller" to safe clean the registry, and to give me a powerful tool to clean out any unwanted garbage. I run "Uninstaller Quick Clean" once a week. All that, and I run "Scandisc" then "Defrag" twice a week. This whole combination keeps 'er runnin' fresh and Samooothe! Give it a trial shot, you will be megabytely amazed and relieved when all the pain gets washed away with the PC's garbage.
