Eeeevil Norton's
Removing Norton's Crap-Bloat-Evil-Crash-ware from your computer can help immensely! You wouldn't believe how much performance can improve just by removing that one Eeeevil piece of software. Hey, it's not that Norton's didn't USE to make a great product, it's just that they seem to have lost their way. I've had customers kill their laptop after installing Norton 360 because Norton's decided that the HAL.DLL was un-necessary and removed it... Think about that, now. This software REMOVES the HAL.DLL file from Windows\System32 and thus renders the machine un-bootable. Do a Google search for HAL.DLL missing and read some of the horror stories. Their customer support is about useless, and told me to contact a PC Support technician!
