I just ran Ad-Aware and Spyware Doctor and it totlly took out Alexa Toobar and wanted to take out Dogpile (but I didn't let it) Well, I actually like Alexa but now I am not to sure. Same with Dogpile. As far as Viewpoint is concered, I am still trying to investigate that. Viewpoint is also the name of a toolbar. I am not sure if Viewpoint and AOL's Viewpoint is the same thing. Anyway, now all the toolbars are messed up and I have to uninstall all of them.

I guess that is why my sisters computer (other than spyware) is running so slow. she has 128 RAM. If she wasn't moving out (she is not taking her computer) I would buy more RAM for her. Guess I'll just buy it for myself. Those things better just pop in or I'll be mad!!!

I think this is so far so good. any suggestions I have are probably already on the schedule for implementation. Like, for example, affiliate refurals for refering people to Stardock products and updatiing the profile page when someone clicks our author name to include going to our sub-site.

So if your computer is running slow, what are the processes you can turn off or 'kill' that will, in a way, restart the system? Me, I don't have a top of the line (or even middle of the line) system.
