Before deleteing programs make sure you know they are not needed. There are many files in your autorun that are Microsoft files. It takes some time but if you google each file you can find out which one is not critical.

I would suggest the following: 1 turn windows update from automatically download and install all updates to automatically download but let me choose what to update 2 go to task scheduler and brows around to see what programs are running and when And delete the programs you don't want to run. warning! now make sure that window eyes is following the mouse pointer by pressing minus on the numpad If you do not know the difference do not continue any further and disregard the next suggestion! 3 download the autorun here is the direct link: http://download.sysinternals.com/files/Autoruns.zip just unzip the file then run the autorun exe file program then control f type not found enter then press insert plus on the numpad which brings the mouse to the highlighted file then press 5 on numpad you should hear what file was searched for but not found now right click and arrow down to delete and enter press control shift w to hear and confirm what is being deleted if you are sure then enter on ok press f3 and repeat the steps above until not found is no longer found. Now go through all the files being run automatically when you start your computer. I would guess that you have over 100. I cleaned my brothers computer, and when I started he had 255 files starting automatically. When I was done, he had about 100. If you are not sure do not delete anything!
