Programs that appear in the system tray/notification area have been put
there by you, so you should know which you want to keep or not keep.. go to
each icon in turn, access the program and look for a check box that will
stop the program from appearing in auto start..
The Processes seen after opening the processes tab in Task Manager should be
left as they are unless you want to compromise your computer at some point
in the future..
You should also look to spyware as a cause of your computer slowing down..
run Adaware, SpyBot S&D, SpywareBlaster and Ewido Suite in safe mode.. all
can be found by searching in your search engine of preference..
You might also want to do some basic housecleaning.. Defragmenter and Disk
Cleanup are good for this..
