(+13rep) NEW laptop running slow?! =s

Yeh I think I might just go back to firefox tbh. That was my main browser in my old computer but I ended up just getting back into IE on this one.

If I disable some of them I am disabling the operating system and stuff...

Nope.

Only programs you have installed.

To disable OS applications, do the same thing but hit the 'Service' tab.

Download and run CCleaner too.

Okay well I have disabled the majority anyway.

Any other suggestions?

I will keep those disabled, I will go back to firefox and I will uninstall norton. Any recommendations as to what i install in it's place?

Any other tips either?

Your problem my friend, is your Anti-Virus, it hogs your ram and slows down your computer MASSIVELY. And also takes up a lot of HD memory for an Anti-Virus.

This will fix your pc and restore it to full performance (hopefully, also some of this stuff has already been mentioned)

1.) download CCleaner.
2.) run registry scan, fix all issues.
3.) Delete all startup processes via CCleaner, if you're unsure of what some are,then simply google them to see what they do.
4) run defrag, you may not think you have much, but trust me, you probably have more junk than you think.
5.) uninstall Norton and all programs related to norton.
6.) Find a download for a cracked version of Eset Smart Security (NOD32) and install it and set it up with the crack which will make your copy of NOD32 legit(kind of) - if you need a link of which to download this then don't hesitate to ask.

If you follow all these steps your PC will boot 5x faster, and your all around PC performance will be a heck of a lot more faster, and enjoyable.

Oooh cool, thanks very much.

Got CC doing it's stuff atm.

What is this antivirus thing? That's 2 of you in this thread mentioned it... is it actually decent then?

[Implement]

Best AV around at the mo, it has to be. Does everything in the background, doesn't lag you or anything.

With Norton you probably thought that you weren't lagging, and that is was great, but when you actually install and use ESET for a day or two, you see the difference.

[Ostinato]

Okay it's uninstaling norton atm and I will give it a go.

That link doesnt work though but I will try and get it somewhere else, no bother. thanks
