My computer gets slower all the time. I do disk cleanup, defrag, spybot,

to only have about 20% ram available out of my 320mb ram. Is this sufficient
reason for my computer to run like a snail? I literally wait 30 seconds for
a page to turn. I have a 750mhz duron amd processor and 30gb hard drive.

If you have unfortunately downloaded Adobe Reader 8.0, I found that
there is a program called AdobeUpdater.exe that will suck up all your
CPU time. You can see it in TaskManager. Kill it. This happens
every time you open a PDF file with Adobe 8.0. It was killing me.

Adobe says we don't understand what 100% CPU time means. Right...
They say the fixed it, but obviously not. Check task manager to see
what is taking up your CPU time, and then search the WWW for others
with the same problem.

I found it in the registry, deleted the key and renamed the
executable. I'll do my own update manually thank you very much.
