I got to know this of late that sometimes when your windows is loading like “siput” (slow), you may wanna try to remove two registry keys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}001

There is the Master Checksum and the slave checksum. Remove it and reboot and your windows will realy fly.

Give it a try.

Yahoo has just changed their mind in handling their search crawler. Thus has cause a sort of DDoS attack pattern from their slurp servers. Anyway, a lot of gateway appliances has started to block all yahoo’s ips due to their stupid move.
