1 - uninstalled OneCare
2 - observed that PFU at startup is some 100 MB less than when OC was
installed.
3 - observed that some applications that took quite a while to start
when OC was installed now start in less than 20 seconds with restarts
after closure of about 5 seconds.
3 - installed 30 day trial of NOD32 and the observations in #2 and #3
above hold.
4 - observed that CPU usage now sits at 0% again and that the computer
fairly whizzes along compared to when OC was installed.
