Windows Update not working - Page 2

I have deleted file c:\windows\system32\saie_kyf.dat

Now the system is very slow.
When I explored "Program Files" I found that a lot of the software I have uninstalled using control panel, are in fact still there. These include Wild Tangent, Java j2re1.4.2_03, Kaspersky AV & Kaspersky Security Suite.

Should I just go ahead and delete these files?

A few posts ago, you said all was fine.

Define slow.

What changes did you make to this system since my last post?

Those folders are only taking up space, the programs seem to have been uninstalled, so I guess you can remove the folders if you like. We've had no hand in those removals, so it's up to you. Seems like you've had some incomplete uninstalls.
