Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2048
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.
You should also have a anti-virus program. There are lots of free ones that are good. Just do a google search for free anti-virus.
A firewall is also a must. There is a good one from Comodo.

expensive Hippo.... exciting that Rosetta Stone consists of ideas first. they have hoodwinked the full inhabitants into thinking of their overpriced and overhyped product with out extremely thinking. stable which you're thinking! it is excellent to locate a human to earnings a language from. Languages are for communications, no longer memorizing rules and vocabulary. try a direction, a close-by college, the German embassy / consulate.
