Comments for What Slows Windows Down?

I think the article 3 reasons why computers slow down is also a good thing to read on the topic.

I repair computers (PC's) on a daily basis. Any Symantec product's usually cause major system slowdowns, especially NIS. You should try running some tests on Norton Ghost versions 10,11, and 12. What about the Viewpoint Media Player. Some other programs that I usually uninstall from a system that is running slow are as follows:
-Symantec programs
-ViewPoint Media Player
-SpyBot
-AOL
-Yahoo Toolbar
-HP Updates
-Google Toolbar
-PC Doctor
-Any Cursor altering programs
-LimeWire
-UTorrent
-Napster
-BearShare
-Morpheus
-Kazaa
-BackWeb
-CcMon

Two programs that I really recommend using and don't slow the system down much are:
-Acronis True Image Home 11
-CCleaner

I will send some more updated lists when I have some more time.
