If your MS Windows computer slows down a lot, chances are you may have
been taken over by Malware. In the past 4 - 6 months, a slew of
Spyware, Adware and Invasionware -- collectively termed Malware --
software has appeared on the scene and invaded MS hosts. I have had 5
customers whose computer was taken over that could not just simply be
removed. In fact, I had to manually remove the invasion by taking out
it's hidden support base.
I use these programs to check and recommend you check your Win2k box:
Adaware from http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/
Spybot from http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Ok I'm crazy about Linux but i figured that i should get some windows
experience so I setup a win 2000 server to play around with. The
thing is with Linux I never reboot unless I'm upgrading my kernel or
must move the computer but now this windows computer has only been on
about 20 days and has slowed down _big_ time! It's just a base
install with the sound card disabled, no extra programs or fancy stuff.
The computer that has windows on is a 1Ghz computer and has had Linux
on many times before and Linux was never slow (even after 60 days
once) the Linux computer beside the windows computer has been on for
21 days with many servers (Espessialy samba) and programs always
running and is still as fast as the day it was turned on.
Does windows acctualy need rebooting every few weeks?
