The only thing I can think of is that I do have quite a large number of programs installed, but I do need them for my business. I also do Checkdisk scans and defrag with O&O Defrag once a month (I did both this weekend) and I scan my computer with Ad-Aware, Spyware Doctor, PC-Cillin and TuneUp Utilities' TuneUp DiskCleaner, TuneUp Registr圜leaner and TuneUp Registry Defrag once a week.
