Adware and spyware can slow a system down to a standstill. I have had
customers bring in systems that would take a 1/2 hour to load windows.
Some times sypbot will pull off a 1000 ot more files.
Installed programs not running in background do nothing except use some
disk space and removing would only help if your HD was almost full and
was limited on size for swap files.
