Greg Shultz explains how to do this by using Resource Monitor. How much RAM do you have? Is your system consuming all or most of your RAM? Does the system page out to disk? If so, you’re suffering a massive performance hit, which can be solved by adding more memory to your PC. In my experience, it’s been successful in catching bad stuff while not significantly degrading system performance itself. My personal favorite (and free!) tool for combating malware is Microsoft Security Essentials. Nothing will ruin good performance like a boatload of spyware.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of what has become known as “bloatware.” In the never-ending race to the bottom of the PC market, lower cost PCs have had their profit margins bolstered by OEMs through the inclusion of mostly junk software – short-term trials and the like - that does nothing but add a few dollars of profit while bringing performance to a crawl. I’ve long felt that Microsoft’s OEMs sometimes actively work against the Redmond behemoth and sully the company’s name. 3: Remove the bloatware installed by vendors

Figure A Disable items to improve overall system performance. From the Startup tab ( Figure A), you can disable items. To use MSconfig, go to Start and in the search box, type MSconfig.

Windows 7 systems eventually begin to suffer under the weight of software that is installed in the normal course of business. Earlier this year, I wrote an article here at TechRepublic titled 10+ Windows 7 services you may not need. Once you make these changes, the service no longer has to consume system resources and the system no longer has to spend time starting the service. A number of services can either be disabled or modified to run only when needed. Not every system service that is running on a stock Windows 7 machine is necessary.
