hi all, i have P.C trouble this time ( lappy is running wonderfully...thanks to those who keep it running for me ) my problem now is that my windows 7 64 bit pc is slow starting up, ive done an mbam scan and removed a PUP thing and that improved things..is there a way to look at startup progs and disable the ones i dont want/need to run at startup..
your help and advice is, as always, much appreciated
regards

Yes. Hit the Start button, type in Msconfig and go under Startup tab. You can uncheck all the unnecessary processes from there. You need to restart the PC for the changes to take place obviously. You can also download and run a scan using Ccleaner to fix things up

Oh great You should also try Ccleaner. It's a free tool that can fix almost all the common errors and bugs you've got on your PC.

thanks mate, i'll give it a try

Check the Services tab in msconfig as well. Just check the Hide all Microsoft services box then look at what's left. Some/many may not be needed.

ok, will try that too....but how do i know which ones are or are not needed

[Ztruker]

You can Google them or just try and see what happens. The only ones you absolutely need are anti-virus.

I also have Acronis, Brother, Malware Bytes, Mirror Folder, Mozilla Maintenance and some Roxio services running but that's by choice as they provide function I use. None are necessary, just convenient.
