TMproxy and TMOagent means that you are running Trend Micro which is a good thing. That's currently the best of the virus progs out. PCCguide and PCCclient is PC-cillin antivirus software. You only need 1, I'd probably ditch that one and keep the Trend Micro. 256 isn't much, but should be enough. Pentium 4 should be darn speedy. You have a few things running that you don't need, but that shouldn't be causing a problem like qttask (memory resident Quicktime), realsched, WZQKPICK (winzip in the taskbar). I'd kill those, but they shouldn't be causing a problem. Most of the rest is either part of windows, a device driver/app, or virus stuff.

To see how much free space you have, go to "My Computer" and click "view" --> "detailed". You should then see a list of your drives (among other things) listing how much used and free space they have. You probably want a minimum of 1Gig of free space with only 256Mb RAM.

When did your computer start running slow? Did it change suddenly after you installed something, suddenly for no apparent reason, or did it gradually get slower and slower.

When you look at the list of processes running do you see any that are using a lot of processor usage (next to how much memory they are using)?

Good luck.
