Post subject: thanks Bush and Fled

Hey guys,,,,after our conversation this morning,,,(or in Fleds case,,evening),,,,,I went and bought that system mechanic to fix the issues that are making my puter slower than what I know it is capable of. As I had said with that new game Im playing,,Battlefield2,,,from the time I open the programn to the time I get into a game is close to 5 minutes,,,,that just isnt right at all,,my puter is better than that. well so far I have only done a few things and I am amazed with the progress, I havent even done the scan of my registry to see whats up in there yet but I am doing the virus scan right now,,(got the pro version),,,and it has already found some dirty yucky viruses that Avast did not. and I still have a long way to go...just wanted to thank you for the advice,,,I thought the services I was currently using were fine but apparently not,,,,one question though,,,,this pro version also has a firewall too,,,so I am utilizing it and have disabled my windows firewall,,,what do you think of that?,,,should I stay with windows or use this KASPERSKY,,,,as I had said,,,,the KASPERSKY anti virus found that trojan that avast did not.....
any opinions?

As far as Anti-virus detection, there is never one program that'll get them all. Using a combination of two or more is the most effective way I know of to get the little 'buggers' Wink

System Mechanic has been one of my favorite Windows Utilities for quite a few years now. Those guys at IOLO really do a fine job keeping a Windows machine running smooth.

With Firewalls, the stock XP (with SP2) works fine but there are lots of others on the market that do a great job too. I say, use what you like and find easy to configure. Zone Alarm was a standard firewall used for quite a number of years by a lot of Zone players and as far as I know, is still quite popular.
