2. Choose an efficient anti-virus solution - i.e. NOT Norton
Agreed. I was having performance problems with my laptop until I removed McAfee Security Suite and replaced it with the free Virus Checker "AVG". The speed increase was amazing. I don't know what McAfee was doing in the background, but it was cripling my machine.
Same experience here. I tried Norton, McAfee, and PC-Tools products. The one that I like best is AVG. Run Panda's TotalScan once in a while...
