You will find it "should" run a lot faster. Assuming it does, then change the settings back on Avast so it will run on startup. |

Tell us what the main CPU utilization culprits are. i52.tinypic.com wainuitech, I've ended all those programs at startup, except for anti-virus. I'll reboot in a min to see if it makes a difference I've also uninstalled Microsoft office, seeing as I never use it, and it does seem to be running a bit better now that's gone. |

| 1186215 | 2011-03-16 00:33:00 | You may also find the Laptop may have been doing windows updates in the background OR the Antivirus doing a scan - if this happens on lower powered systems, it can bring them to a crawl while its happening. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1186216 | 2011-03-16 00:36:00 | Have you checked the Event log to make sure there are no hard drive errors? A failing HDD can cause the machine to lag. |

| 1186219 | 2011-03-16 00:56:00 | Done a defrag recently? www.piriform.com You're using just under half the available RAM, hmmm .... Does it happen just when you use Chrome for browsing? Or IE also? Based on your initial post, I wonder if it's something like DNS perhaps, or browser caching buggered up? |

| 1186220 | 2011-03-16 01:21:00 | No haven't done a defrag, I will later on. Chrome is the only thing I use.. I got used of using this browser so just stuck to it, but it does seem to be going alot faster now, it might have been all the background programs making it go slow.. But I'll still do a defrag later on |
