Slow computer generally indicates spyware, malware, adware and virus's. Also indicates that hard drive needs defraging and registry cleaned and optimized. Just runnig one spyware program is not going to cut it. check out this site and look at the free software list. I use 5 different applications for spyware, adware and malware removal. They all find something that the others miss. That's the nature of the beast. Vista has a built in defrager but it takes hours to complete. I use Auslogics disk defrager and registry defrager. Then I recomend MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials), this replaces One care and its free. It has a antivirus built in it so have to uninstall what you have to use MSE. http://www.vistax64.com/software/
