Also - Skybird - I think you may have noted what problem you have. Looks like your running multiple scanners there. Remember - each one loads when you boot - and most have to "filter on access" of a file - meaning regardless of memory, cpu speed, hd space, etc - you have a program or file that must be looked at by 4 or more applications that you listed before it can be allowed to "execute" in its own memory space.

Alot of people make this mistake. Remember - Windows has Defender built in - so if you want to run ad-aware or something similiar - turn of defender. Or - don't let the apps autoload. You need ONE - repeat ONE virus scanner/adware/spyware application loaded. You can have others installed - and let them each run their own scan on occasion - but if you let more than one load - your asking for HUGE perfomance hits.

Think of it this way - you ask someone to give you your keys from your jacket pocket. They reach in, look over the keys - and hand em to someone else to pass to you. That person gives them an inspection - and passes them on to the next... do that with 4 people in between you and your keys - and it will take a while for you to get what you need. Same thing going on in your pc.......
