I'm uninstalling now.
Not part of a corporate LAN.

Hey, I think I figured something out! Yeah, me! Hard to believe, no?

So using Windows Defender I took a look at what programs start up when I turn the computer on. There's a lot of them. Maybe that's what's slowing everything down.

If I take screenshots of them, do you think you guys could tell me which ones I can remove or disable?

Yes, please post them.

That is what I was hoping to do with the msconfig steps.

And then get rid of Windows Defender.

As you can see, I disabled some already. Like the one in Japanese. I'm thinking I can delete it. What do you think?

And what's with the NA ones? Is Lisa hacking me?

Does not need to start:
iTunes
imscinst.exe doesn't need to start (read here)

Can you screen shots of the start > run > msconfig > tools tab too? It seems like some processes are missing. And screen shots of your add/remove programs.

I really think the Windows Defender, and MS Security Essentials are causing a lot of the slowness.

Did you run the check disk repair yet?

OOps. I meant Start Up.

Sorry!

Looks like only the necessary files are selected.

What have you uninstalled so far?
