i usually spend most of my time downloading softwares
now a days my pc freezes quiet often , programs starts automatically and firefox freezes every 5-10 minutes
i scanned my pc with kaspersky 7 , adaware , counter spy , spyware doctor, ca anti spyware 2008 stopzilla
they all say its clean (and yes i have uninstalled CS and SD recently) but still the problem persist

i regularly use regcure , registry machanic 7, jv16 and registry booster (everyday)
and let me tell you i disabled the services for adaware and stopzilla to stop running too many services
