I realize that everyone has there own techniques for this and is (hopefully) using some kind of Anti Virus, BUT, as with all A/V software, one program won't catch it all.

When trying to clean up/out a system, just start with the obvious causes of your problems first and do the following:

1. Check processes for Indexing Service. If it's running, disable it.

2. Disable Windows System Restore.

3. Install, if you don't already have it, CCleaner. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

4. Install, and update, Spyware Blaster (This is your systems condom). http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadget.p ... f4682b4cef
- After updating, apply all new immunizations.

5. Install, update and run, Spybot Search And Destroy (This is phase 1 of your systems Penicillin Shot). http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
- After immunizing and scanning your system, remove any Spyware, Mal-ware, hostage-ware etc that is found.

6. Install, update and run, Malware Bytes Anti-Malware. (This is phase 2 of your systems Penicillin Shot). http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?i ... 666f809b26
- After immunizing and scanning your system, remove any Spyware, Mal-ware, hostage-ware etc that is found.

7. Install, update and run your Anti Virus Program. I use AVG Free Edition and it can be found here: http://download.cnet.com/AVG-Anti-Virus ... d=11014801

8. Run CCleaner to remove any un-needed registry entries.
- You may have to run the registry cleaner and file cleaner SEVERAL times to get everything. Just keep doing it until it comes back with no errors.

9. If you're running multiple H/D's, run the game from one of the alternate drives (D, E, F etc.)

10. Disable swap file, system restore on any drive other than your Windows Drive.

11. Swap file should only be enabled on the primary H/D (Windows) and should be double your ram size. ie. If you have 4 gb of ram, swap file should be 8gb.
- Reboot the system.

**** Most import step ****
12. Download and install Disktrix Ultimate Defrag. http://www.disktrix.com/downloads/Ultim ... pTrial.exe
- It's a free 14 day trial, but is well worth the trouble.
- Run the software and move all Windows Files, Boot files to the outside sectors of the drive and the swap file to the End of the drive. This will help alleviate a lot of read/write seek times.

13. Re-enable Windows System Restore.

This should help with anything that may be lurking in the background of your system hogging up resources.
The next step is going through your Conf.ini setup for IL2, Video and hardware pipelines. (Updates to MB BIOS, Video BIOS, Video Drivers etc.)

Si, ese es el servicio de indexado socorrista, como sabrás desde el Panel de Control - Herramientas Administrativas - Servicios, puedes tener acceso a todos ellos, y configurarlos como quieras.
The Control Panel - administrative tools - services, you can have access to all of them and configure them as you want.

For Windows XP

To disable the indexing service:

1. In the "Start" menu, choose "Run."
2. Type "services.msc" and press Enter.
3. Scroll-down to "Indexing Service" and double-click it.
4. If the service status is "Running", then stop it by pressing the "Stop" button.
5. To make sure this service doesn't run again, under "Startup Type:", choose "Disabled."

That's it.

Thanks {HVY-E}Jinxx, I follow their recommendations, and firewalls?, what do you think of PC Tools Firewall Plus?.

[{HVY-E}Jinxx]

As far as firewalls go, I use Zone Alarm Pro.
Black Ice Defender is also very good.
