Hey, Modzey

2 here?.

I really don?t have the time to research all of the running services, that?s a good project for you to get some brownie points in your relationship?

Here are a few pointers and suggestions to get you started? Google is great for researching..

Vista is the biggest problem, I hate it?. I have continued to use XP and look for an OS to replace it when M$ stops supporting it, Vista is out of the running.
For the past couple of weeks I have been using and testing Windows 7 Beta and I love it! It?s what Vista was supposed to be. What I can?t understand is why M$, after putting out a flop like vista, wants to charge you for fixing it?..

1. There are 27 Services starting at boot on your GF?s computer that most do not need to run, all of the time.
I probably have as many Services on my machine but only 6 of them run at startup.
Anything dealing with Antivirus, AntiMalware or necessary services are started the others are set to Manual that way they will start and run when they are needed and called by another program otherwise they don?t run and use resources.
You can use Run -> services.msc to change them from Auto to Manual or Disable.
Manual is the best and safest way to go in case the service is ever needed.

2. Think seriously about changing the AV. McAfee is bloated and not as good as some of the Free AV?s.
Antivir Free is the best free antivirus out there... look at the credentials and look how far down the list McAfee is:

3. Java is out of date. Spyware and Malware slip through holes is older versions.Sun plugs the holes so keep it updated:

Look here for some of my software suggestions:

have any questions, just fire away?..
