"Safe-Mode with Networking Option" or "Safe-Mode".

Now, Kindly go to : Start > Run > and there type in "%temp%" (It will open up the Temporary Folder of your currently logged on User)
So, just select all the files/folders present there and delete them permanently.

After this go to : Start > Run > and this time type in

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

"It will open up the "Temporary Internet Files" folder, so just remove all of its contents.

After that kindly perform a Disk Defragmentation (Start > Program > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter).

Then, please go to : Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > there click on the "Delete Files" and "Delete Cookies" buttons one by one.

After this kindly run another DiskCleanup of your PC by going to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup.

Now, do a copy-paste of the following colored Data into a notepad and save it as "quick.reg" and double click on the same and choose YES to have these implemented for good.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ActiveWndTrkTimeout"=dword:00000000
"ForegroundFlashCount"=dword:00000000
"ForegroundLockTimeout"=dword:00030d40
"GridGranularity"="0"
"HungAppTimeout"="500"
"LowPowerActive"="0"
"LowPowerTimeOut"="0"
"PowerOffActive"="0"
"PowerOffTimeOut"="0"
"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="500"
"WaitToKillAppTimeout"="5000"
"AutoEndTasks"=dword:00000001
"MenuShowDelay"="0"

When all this has been done, kindly run a fresh scan of your system using your software.

Now, restart your PC and go to : http://www.windowsupdate.com and download install any/all the latest Update Patches available for your system.

Now, click on [Start button] > [Run] there type in regedit

Then, navigate to the following Registry Key:-

+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-SYSTEM
-CurrentControlSet
-Control
-Session Manager
-Memory Management

Now, just select that Memory Management Key and look at the right hand side pane, you may find a key named as :: ClearPageFileAtShutdown,
Just double click on it and set its value to 0 Then, press the F5 key and close the Registry.

Regards
Sunny



REGISTRY EDITING IS NOT NECESSARY JUST DELETE FILES, DISK CLEANUP AND DEFRAG ARE NECESSARY.. THAT WILL GREATLY IMPROVE PERFORMANCE...
