i use ccleaner to clear out the crap from my computer
defraggler does a good job of only defragmenting the fragmented files.

Ugh I never knew IM programs slow down your comp so much. And Norton is garbage.

I have McAfee and Stopzilla but ive only been running Stopzilla for a good while now as to me it seems to catch crap whenever anything happens. Does any1 have a comparable chart of these 2 programs as to which takes up more memory to run. Also if one is better then the other or even if I should remove both and replace them with something else?

(always trying to get the most out of my PC for my gaming)

for stuff like KIS and Norton antivirus how bout just make them not start when u boot then start them?

As for my last post KIS 2009 does make it take like an extra 20 seconds to boot up my laptop.
