Re-installed Windows XP on my PC, now it can't reocognize my modem/router

[.Tony]

I ran a whole scan of the PC last month, also tried to remove un-neccesary programs and other things that could just waste the space, but I couldn't really find anything really harmful. Except a few infected files (Nothing that you noticed alot.) So I deleted some of my folders. Such as; Downloaded files/Torrents etc. And 2 games. That speeded my PC up a bit, but yet it keeps slowing me down somehow. But I will look further into that.

You may have an excessive amount of temporary files too.

TheRock actually wrote up a nice little topic about this kind of thing. You can find it here:

P.S. Don't forget that your computer should be running both Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware programs! One or the other does not protect you against both forms of malicious software!

I got my Anti Virus running 24/7, but I rarely do a full scan, but I sure will do now.

Most A/V programs will allow you to set up scheduled scans. I would recommend having it run at something like 2 in the morning, or another time when you would rarely be using the computer for a few hours.

Alright.
