I don't want to hijack this thread, but I'm interested in this point. I just got a Dell, with a bunch of bloatware. It does, however, include 15 months of McAfee for free. I'm planning to reinstall the OS to rid myself of the bloatware, but I had also planned to reload McAfee to take advantage of the free 15 months. I understand it's a bit of a hog, but I've got a dual core processor, 2 meg of RAM and 320 gigs of HD space, so I didn't figure I'd have much performance degredation. Do you disagree?
Now back to your regularly scheduled registry cleaner/booster discussion....
