And don't you think an OS shouldn't slow down just by simply using it? Yes, partially…but so many other things contribute to SCD.

If you only keep away from sh*t websites I think you will be fine. Even if u do visit such websites just make sure u click carefully, if u get a dialog box make sure you try avoiding it at all. And especially ignore popup messages like 'Im in your city, wanna hang out' ;-) I never install security software and I’ve no problem with IE.

Because my computer is OK when I install fresh OS but after few months it's speed deteriorates. I guess the SCD is related to the time since u’ve had the OS installed.

This computer is so slow it takes 10 minutes to get a page up. I stopped incredimail from running on startup and it helped a little. I find it odd that you cannot fully uninstall a program or import the address book back to outlook if the program is legit!!!!!! Incredimail is bad news in my opinion and it's not the first experience I've had with it.

I have a freind who just LOVES to download wallpaper and use vacation photos on her desktop. She sees those photos for a few seconds and then off to do other things online. I've said why bother, she says they make her happy, and then complaines about a slow computer. DUH! Oh, and running XP with the max of RAM of 512 with out being able to add more memory. Very good advise!
