[quote][i]Originally posted by moka[/i] You probably just saved him 10 seconds off his boot time and freed up 5-10% resources so in that respect it will speed up his pc. But id be suprised if he notices how fast his pc is again. He will probably notice its faster to boot up. He wasnt booting up with too much anyway.. true its more than needed but he has probably only added 3-4 to that list since buying the laptop from the shop. Also simply unticking the spyware does not always get rid of it - i would advise downloading yourself some freeware spyware application. Running diskeeper in the background will take little resources and again only when the pc is 'idle'. Give diskeeper a try. My guess is that the reason his laptop is so slow is because overtime his files and applications have become fragmented. Windows defrag will help with this but the quality of the defrag is genrally poor. Diskeeper will and will defrag in realtime never letting your laptop get to that state again.
