Hi Hey Grif another question for you if you don't mind..?
I have a acer aspire 5100 it will not shut off correctly? I can log off open the other user then shut down sometimes that works sometimes not I started in safe mode then shut down it shut down fast I then logged on & at log in point I went to the little red button lower right corner & shut it down there it worked . I did that a couple times thinking maybe it would correct itself like good "ole?" XP it hasen't fixed itself yet . the last time I tried shutting it down I tapped the F5 key while it said shutting down & it shut down evidently the browser? is hanging? I dunno ? got ADHD , I ain't dumb just gets confusing. I appreciate the help thanks ! Dale

Much the same but a slightly different group of tools.
I use this antispyware tool:
AVG Antispyware

And then:
Disabling Unnecessary Programs

See the link below and follow the steps to preventing unneeded Services from running in the background. It should help substantially.:

Afterwards, run Disk Defragmenter.
Hope this helps.
