    • What do you mean? If you don't want the programs there, then right click and close them. o.O;

    And have you run a spyware/adware check for the slowness?

    • I think you can go to Start -> Run and type in "msconfig". There should be a Startup tab or something there from which you can choose which programs to load when you start your computer.

    Of course, I have close to no idea what I'm talking about, so... if it doesn't work, ask someone who does know. <_<

    Well, glad to see that you've got most of your problems
    dealt with. I was tampering with an old ASM program made
    by myself, but I couldn't remember what the program does and
    couldn't interpret the source code itself! So I messed with it a
    bit, compiled it and then it releases a virus on my system.
    Then it says "Remember not to tamper with stuff you don't know!
    By, *my name*"
    Anyway, got to sort that out now.

    • LOL, teaches you not to play with viruses right? XD

    Maybe you should comment your code next time... it's odd, I have things I programmed three years ago (I was really good at it back then) and now I look at them and I have no idea how I did them XD. I comment everything now XD.

    Oh, and Greg - here's a cough drop.

    • Goten Shy, regarding your first problem with the programs along your taskbar, you can try Lightning's suggestion with the 'msconfig' utility. Also, I would suggest you removing the programs that you don't use. If you find yourself closing the same programs over and over at the taskbar, perhaps you don't have any need for it anymore.

    Tig, what firewall are you using? You could try uninstalling it, or disabling it. It depends really what firewall you use.
