Scan for viruses, spyware, malware ect ect

Get rid of startup programs, delete temp files and backup all your large files like MP3's, MPEG, AVI files then delete them off your hard drive, get rid of programs you never use, clear history, run for scans like allen812 mentioned, and defrag. You will notice your PC will run faster after performing all that is mentioned in this thread.

Hijack this doesn't remove gaps, you need to tell it to. By doing this, you need to get a Hijack this user who knows what he is doing. PM me for some people.

It doesnt, but it can.. so thats why i put it there..

HJT is an analyzer, that's all. You may remove things, only if told by a HJT tech.

If i see something that shouldnt be there i take it off, and im not a tech

Bad, even if something looks bad, it shouldn't be taken off. If you remove the wrong things, it could damage your system.
