Wiping your computer clean is NOT the solution.

Asking /paying someone else to fix the problem is NOT the solution .

TAKE A STAND NOW! IT's YOUR COMPUTER !!

Answer 6

I think you're a bit nuts to have all of that crap running on your computer... and of course it's going to slow things down... and some of those programs you mentioned can cause harm. I highly recommend getting rid of ALL of that stuff (except maybe the spybot) and purchasing a reliable antivirus/firewall from a vendor like McAfee (reliable!)... and as long as it is properly configured, and set to automatically update.. with those two you will be fine... as long as you also maintain your system properly with windows security patches and any security patches for programs you use and you maintain safe browsing habits (like not downloading every piece of crap someone you don't know recommends). good luck.
