Thanks, Paul. Appreciate the additional info. I didn't find Limewire, but did disable
some of the stuff from the Start menu, followed by a "System Restore" to almost two
weeks prior to the big slowdown. This has helped a lot, but I still do not believe
the machine is running at maximum efficiency yet. I'll keep pokin around, do a malware
scan, and a defrag procedure.
