    What? I don't know what you are asking for... Is your PC free of spyware or other malware? What program(s) are you running for protection?

    what i was asking for is a solution to make the pc run smoothly while copying or installing...its free of spyware and i use AVG and Spybot

    So your friend's PC doesn't slow down when he is installing another program. What type of Internet provider are you using? Are you using a router with your modem? If so, your router could be slowing things down
