Yeah, for about a month. Tried that for a awhile because I know that stuff slows things down, but after a month the computer took about three times as long to boot up, crashed all the time, and froze up about a dozen times per day. If you have anti-virus programs you can prolong that for about six months. Tried the free programs to keep it "clean" and still ended up with a slow crappy computer. The only fix was to wipe the hard drive and start all over which takes about a full day to re-install the 5 million Windows updates and service packs.

It really is a Windows problem and Windows is absolute garbage and will always be absolute garbage. There is no possible way that a MAC could even come close to the headache you get when running Windows on a PC, even if you do have some compatability problems and don't like the interface as much.
