Deleting programs
I have a lot of what I think are redundant programs. Could someone let me know which one's I need and don't need? Exp- Java 5 updates and six updates, these programs a very large and I think this is slowing down my computer.

Always include model PC and version of Windows in your posts. ;)
How much memory (RAM) and free hard drive space do you have?
You can use Add/Remove Programs control panel to delete Java updates except the latest one, version 6, update 6.
<>It's not so much a question of how many programs you have on the hard drive (unless you're short of disk space), but what's running in the background.
Start>run
type in: msconfig
click ok
Click Startup tab
Uncheck everything except items related to your firewall, antiviral software, mouse, and video.
Exit msconfig and reboot.
Put check in "Don't show this again" box that appears when you reboot.
Is that better?
And have you scanned for malware lately?
