Windows XP Professional. Gateway Performance 1400. My PC moves slowly and or
freezes. I have tried several programs to debug the pc and have spybot and
another program to get rid of unwanted items but it still slow and subject
to freezing. I defragment every week and clean up the cookies at the same
time. Please help!
