Mick,
> I deleted some programs,
I hope you mean that you uninstalled them, never just delete a
program. I'm guessing that you know that.
The only time a program can cause a memory problem is when it is
running. If a program IS a memory hog
don't run it along with others unless you absolutely need it then.
Then you will just have to suck it up. :-)
> cleaned up the registry and defraged.
I have never trusted programs that claim to fix the registry. I used
to manually edit it, but I have not done anything with it in ages. And
I don't think that I have had any problems.
> I ran anti spyware and spam devices. I ran virus checks.
So did you find any. My understanding is that few malware checkers are
much good at getting rid of malware after the fact. If it can't block
it, it will probably get in. I have never had any Virus or other
malware that I can tell. That may be another advantage of revers
cloning my computer every few months. I clone the C partition clone
back from where it lives to C, and it wipes C and places the clone in
it's place. I create the clone disconnected from the internet so
there's absolutely no chance of malware getting to it.
