The O4 list shows way too many unnecessary programs loading during startup and running in the background.
Click Start - Run, type in MSCONFIG, then click OK - "Startup" tab. Every entry listed there with a checkmark next to it is loading and running.
This site will assist you in getting the startup list trimmed down.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These entries in the O23 list can be changed in the Services window from "Automatic" to "Manual":
ATI HotKey Poller
ATI Smart
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a new folder in the C:\Program Files folder, name it HijackThis, then move the HijackThis.exe file from its current location to the new C:\Program Files\HijackThis folder.
After you do that, delete all files and folders from inside these Temp folders:
C:\Documents And Settings\(Username)\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Windows\Temp
It's all useless junk.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get rid of all those toolbars.
