@Jaime honrado That pretty much hit the nail on the head, Bloatware as it is often refered to as is often trials or ad-supported releases of software suites included with factory fresh PC's. Some are notorious for loading their PC's with a plethora of bloatware, such as HP, Asus, Dell and Acer. The moment we get new PC's in at work we make a backup of the drivers and then reinstall a fresh copy of windows, runs 1000% better when it dosn't have epic proportions of Pop-ups, toolbars, accessories and just garden variety software polluting the OS.

Although I strongly recommend THEfrog's list of valid Windows service culprits, I've seen a couple of my friends complain about how slow their system is and blame the guys at Redmond for making a crappy OS when they've got so much crap running and installed you sometimes don't know which ones are which already. Just to state out the obvious for those who don't already know: Avoid crapware, and flashy anti-virus/malware programs. The former are extra shit developers try to get you to install for whatever evil purpose they have (toolbars, notifiers and shit). The latter are well, it speaks for itself. Also, if you use messengers I strongly suggest you exit it before playing, unless you really need it for say, coordinating with your team on a multiplayer game.
