Hi this is RimCheck here!

I am very new to this place and need help on my:
Window Xp
Pentium4 2.99ghz
512ddram
Dell

My question is what all tweaks, things can I do in Windows, and also good utilities to make my computer run the fastest it is capable of running?

Also how do I remove virtumondo?
I am using:
1.Adware free personal version fully updated
2.Spybor fully updated
3.CCcleaner not sure what it does or how to use it
4.ZoneAlarmPlus fully updated licensed one
5.Look2me what it do?
6.Microsoft anti-spyware fully updated
7.HijackThis dont know what to do with it.
8.Probably some others I can list later like:

to rid yourself of virtumondo, follow the instructions at the top of the malware forum and then post a hijack log THERE

To tweak your computer...well, don't bother. There are very few actual tweaks to windows xp despite what you've read on many sites. Most tweaks accomplish little for general purposes, though some have some value for specific cases.

Windows XP is a well tuned OS (by this, I do not mean perfect or invulnerable--just well tuned)

Run general maintenace. Empty the trash, defrag the drive, run chkdsk...maybe set a static minimum size for your swap file (no max), reduce the number of programs running at start up
