step 7, i like it
webcams are the worst things for making people lag, so dont forget to destroy them too, in a fire ofc.
No webcams
Webcam does not lag on your computer when it's not active, but if it's active, then yes, it will put some lags on your system.
Virus Protection? Like Norton 360? Norton is a pain in the ass to other stuff of mine as well.
lolwtf dude. stop using Norton for now. I'll just give you Eset Smart Security 4 with NodEnabler tomorrow.

I'm not sure if you ever tried to use this cool program called
EndItAll.
It's really useful to eliminate at up to 85% of unnecessary tasks, such as Norton 360. Why don't you give it a try?

I used it when I had lag issues on my Athlon 64 X2 +3800.
