4) WinPatrol Ill remove today.

Ill look into reformatting the hard drive , Ive never have done this task before, I guess if I do I might as well load vista

Thanks Frank

AVG antispayware can be disabled until you need to scan. Keep it
WinPatrol does not use much if any resources. Keep it
As for vista you may need to update some of the drivers.
