WIN XP\n\nFirst make sure it's not installed on your puter more than ONCE. If it is more than once uninstall all of them and reinstall just ONE. If that's not the case you can do the following which will help out your puter a LOT at any rate!\n\nStart>run>type in msconfig and click ok>Startup Tab>UNcheck everything you want to get rid of and then follow prompts out. Now they won't be running in the back ground chewing up your puters 'resources' just make sure you leave your anti-malware checked, but UNcheck EVERYTHING else. You can still use those progs but will have to go through the start/ all programs menu or make shortcuts on your desktop to get to them...NO biggie!!!!\n\nAND what brandonjones below me said...whic IS a BIGGIE!\n\nCheck this out:\n\nhttp://techdirt.com/articles/20061031/192204.shtml\n\nhttp://p2pnet.net/index.php  Be SURE to check out their Archives and find out all about the RIAA and MPAA\n\nAND here is the RIAA site:\n\nhttp://www.riaa.com/default.asp

1) Use Winpatrol to stop all your programs loading on startup. You only want Windows and your security software.\n2) Use Ccleaner. Run the cleaner, run the Issues tool, uninstall any programs you no longer use.\n3) Defragment all the partitions on your hard drive from start - programs - accessories - system tools - defragmenter. Leave the pc while it runs.\n4) Make sure you have a firewall, an anti virus, 3 anti spyware programs, update and run them at least once a week.\n5) Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.\n6) Try to get 1 gig RAM.\n\nYou need to install one firewall.\nThe Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out. \nhttp://www.zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall\nhttp://www.comodogroup.com/  - Comodo security suite.\n\nYou need to install one anti virus;\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/  -AVG anti virus or\nhttp://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus \n\nYou need all three anti spyware programs;\nhttp://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.\nhttp://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware\n\nUtilities;\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/ Firefox web browser.\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool\nhttp://www.winpatrol.com\nSpywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Use a good antivirus for a thorough scan of your computer. If it can't help you can try reinstalling your operating system. To permanently remove malware from the computer try a fresh install rather than upgrade or repair.\nyou have not mentioned what OS you are using? \nIf it is windows it will help. Viruses generally infect your active partition only, so reinstalling your operating system will help. After that you should perform a scan for the whole hard disk.\nIn most cases this method works

Add CCleaner and use it to clear both the system and registry.\nThen check for spyware using AdAware and Spybot S&D to catch ALL the spyware. One doesn't catch all.\nThen run a free ROOTKIT detector. This is different from the other solutions.\nIf you have a rootkit, you need a professional to remove it.
