This is an issue I've had with every single Windows version I've used since they came out with the registry with 95. Format it, install the OS, drivers, load it up with your apps. Use it. Everything runs fine for a couple of months, and then in time the cougar just becomes a turtle.

I use Ad-Aware and Norton, I defrag, I run a virus-free system etc. I don't visit that many sites and none that I don't trust. I use FF, not MSIE, to browse. And yet, in the time span of about 2-3 months, the system will become noticably slow compared to how it was. This is most evident with web browsing and multitasking. It's like there's just no get up and go. So I am forced to reformat and start over.

Why is this?
