I know Aiken...but unfortunately I'm not the only person who uses this computer (my 3 sisters and parents all use it also), so some stuff gets added that I personally wouldn't install! Thanks for the suggestions, and I'll uninstall all those crap utilities and programs as soon as possible. I would also be very grateful for any other suggestions for cleaning up processes that you may have.
Thanks a lot!

Might want to tell the other people in the house what and why.

Re: How do I turn off Overclocking??
The problem is thus:
My sisters are not at all computer literate, and do not understand why/why not something should/should not be installed. Its basically useless to try.
My mom is fine, she always asks me if she's not sure about something.
My dad...well he doesn't take kindly to advice, and tends to blow up if he's in a bad mood, so I've given up on him.
I clean up the computer as often as I have time to, but between school and other commitments, I have no time.

Re: How do I turn off Overclocking??
Try partitioning the disk. Tell everybody to save their stuff to the D drive if they want it to stay.
Then you can "format c:" away the nasties 
If you can get yourself a clean disk image, all the better, but even reinstalling everything from scratch should only take an hour or two.

Re: How do I turn off Overclocking??
Create separate system user profiles for them: Mom, Sisters, Dad or Renegade and Family. Set easy to remember passwords. Disable os autologin (so they will have to enter their passwords). These Users (not you) should belong to Restricted Users group (not power or administrators), so they couldn't install any dangerous software, or change whole system enviroment. NT is a multiuser os, afterall.
I have some problems with internet connection, so new exciting details about your system will wait until monday 
Good luck with your struggle for clean system. |
