If it's new you should be uninstalling those programs the manufacturer put on there for you. It's just about all trash. Open your Task manager. See how many process' you have running. Report back.

Win 7 is after XP..

There are so many ; depends what you want to do ..


Free - vlc media player - handy as plays some files that the installed windows player may not
VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!


You need a good ad blocker-
the best is Ad muncher - I'm poor so I stole my copy
but It's well worth the $20 a year for the basic .
or take the 30 day trail - to see how nice and clean the screen looks with it running
and it saves bandwidth too
