MsMpEng.exe is on my computor. I cannot do a system restore because I no longer have the resourses. I can't even see how much RAM I have. I have 250 GB of hard drive and I am supposed to have 1 GB of RAM. What do I do to stop this system hog?

start - run - msconfig | go to the startup tab and click disable all, then go to your services tab, check the box!!!!!!! (this is important to keep the computers integrity in check) "hide all microsoft services" and disable all of those after you've made sure you've checked the box.
hit apply, ok, then close and reboot
in the middle of rebooting as the "windows xp" bar thing is loading across your screen... turn the pc off (i know this sounds absolutley nuts but it works) make sure you turn it off half way during starting up windows then turn it back on.. then you will be asked to start in safe mode or command prompt mode.. yada yada.... choose safe mode and then do your system restore, and if its still going slow ill get on yahoo with you and show you how to delete the spyware manually

start menu - run, type 'msinfo32' : The system summary lists 'total physical memory', that is how much RAM you have.
to try something...msmpeng seems to be associated with windows defender...are you using that?
go to the control panel - open the windows defender icon and turn it off...or uninstall it...but if you just turn it off, open task manager
If you dont have defender - start with task manager and just deal with the service as described above.
doing a reinstall takes way to much time (for some), and is a last resort. Besides isnt learning more fun?

The file MsMpEng.exe appears to be associated with Windows Defender. The file is ok to be there. Now here are some tips to get your computer running faster.
A clean computer is key to a faster computer. Run the 3 scans below.
Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from Trendmicro. When I have tested it it takes some time to run it but it may be time well spent if it can fix any problems.
Download and run http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php
Now lets clean up your registry.
Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?d...
Safely cleans junk out of the Windows 2000/XP system registry. All changes made to the registry are fully restorable to it's original condition. You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.
Download CleanUp---http://www.stevengould.org/software/clea...
Free disk space, make your computer run better/faster and protect your privacy - all in one easy solution. All for free!
Now lets clean up your disk.
Do a Disk Cleanup and Disk Defrag. You can find both of them by following the path below.
Start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Cleanup. Let it do its thing. You can check every box that has something to delete.
Now follow the same path and do a Disk Defrag. Again just let it do its thing.
Now lets tweak your connection. There are many programs out there to do this. I will give you 2 of them.
The first one is TCP Optimizer.

To make your computer as fast as it was when you got it, simply restore it to the same state it was in back then.
Boot the Microsoft Windows operating system CDs, format and re-install.
