Why is Twitter so slow?

Disable ALL of them, unless you use norton AV
If you use norton AV, then leave the symantec + norton ones.

I should disable the yahoo toolbar as well? I use yahoo for searches. Also disable realplayer? How would I be able to save and watch videos?

I won't make you unable to use those, it will just make it so that there is less **** to slow down your browser. Also do a speed test as someone mentioned earlier.

So if I disable yahoo toolbar and yahoo toolbar helper, I can still use yahoo for a search engine?

Also, enable all the other add-ons like Symantec and Norton because I use Norton. RealPlayer is ok though? I dont have to disable that, right?

Yes, you could make Yahoo your default search engine.  Here's a reference on how to make such a change: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-set-google-as-default-search-engine-in-internet-explorer-9/   The reference talks about changing to Google, so just substitute Yahoo for Google in your case.

Do need RealPlayer?  I've lived without it for a few years now.  I rarely encounter a website with content requiring RealPlayer.

I may just do that. Actually it says disable the toolbar not yahoo search engine in general. I should have realized that.

b]Well RealPlayer makes me able to download and play videos. I kind of need it and Im not sure how to install Windows Media Player. [/b]

You already have Windows Media Player.  It's on all Windows systems.

Unless you actually like and use them in general Toolbars will use system resources that could be elsewhere...
And i notice you have more than one...if you don't use them regularly get rid of all of them.
