I already posted this in the Have a Virus? thread, but no one noticed it.

But yeah, so I don't think I have a virus, but my computer is still REALLY slow.

I've tried deleting any programs I don't use anymore, I defragment the harddrive on a daily basis, I do a full-system scan for viruses every week, and I check for spyware also everyday.

And my laptop is STILL slow as f**k. It's annoying. It takes like 10 minutes for it to load up and everything.

Help?

I know, but it was never this laggy before I started using the internet on it..

What does RPM stand for?

And, is there anyway I can stop these resource-hogging programs from automatically loading up?

RPM is revolutions per minute. It's the speed at which the motor spins the disk platter on the hard drive. Higher RPM means better read/write times.

You can go into msconfig and uncheck all the processes you don't want to launch at startup.
