:-[
I have been having problems with a very slow running computer. I ran shredder, spybot search and destroy and hijack this. I need help figuring what to take off my latest scan. I hope someone out there can help me with this. Hopefully then the computer will run like it used to.

If you want your PC to run faster, try going in another direction - looking at your RAM usage. Try downloading Cacheman (www.outertech.com). If most of your RAM is taken up, you might want to increase your virtual memory to help speed your PC up.

As for the scans. Looks fine to me. I didn't see anything wrong on there.
