Ok, so my computer has been running pretty raggedy latly and i had just a bunch of junk on it. I run antivirus that updates regularly, i have spyware scans i do regularly, i do everything you can. I run zone alarm. So i just deleted a lot of things, but how can i clean memory and remove pointless things that are just acting as clutter? What else can i do other than completly formatting to help my computer.
Yes, i defrag like every 4 weeks or so. I delete everything i run scandisk everything is fine. But it jsut runs slow not like it should to my standards at least. Is there a way to clean windows or clean memory or do something to kind of refresh it? For some reason i jsut think my windows operating system is a clutter from all the stuff i download. I just think it should be performing better
What's the best solution to internet security? All in one or a combination of free programs? If so, which ones?
I’ve tried Trend Micro, McAfee, Norton, Registry Mechanic, CA, and several freeware programs like Zone Alarm, AVG, Advanced System Care, Spyware Blaster, Easy Cleaner, and most recently COMODO Internet Security. It seems to me like they all worked somewhat well for a while. Seems like either the program gets too cumbersome or the PC ends up slowing way down. Even had 3 PC’s die after getting slow. Got a laptop now that’s really slowed down. Do you just need to switch security providers frequently? Who do you trust??
How to fix slow computer bootup?
Everytime i install a program into my computer my computer becomes very slow in bootup. When it boots up the explorer appears but the system tray programs arent in place. I dont have that much programs in bootup all i have is my firewall and my antivirus that boots up and this hasnt become a problem before i installed a program. The program isnt a virus and i have enough ram (512 mb). my firewall is zone alarm and i use AVG anti virus Free. it takes about an hour or 2 juss to boot up my whole computer and i checked msconfig already to check if there are any startup problems. I checked regiestery problems with CCleaner and i defraged my harddrives yet it still wont work. There are no spyware on my computer i scanned for viruses. Can anyone help?

For some reason my computer is been freezing lately, wow is lagging like crazy and counter strike just froze after a while of playing. I tried many Registry cleaners, scan my computer for virus, spyware, malware.I have defrag my computer, update everything. I checked over heating and dust seems fine plus i put my fan at its fastest pace so it wont over heat. This started to happen like a week ago. Here a list of software I use to scaning for anything.I think is hardware failure or something to do with my power supply.

Hi to you 750 rider, you are wrong, totally, I run all of these on my own pc, and I advise others to run it as well, it’s very good, I can vouch for that and I am an IT practitioner with long experience, and I know my onions.
Hi Rich, well I never had to do anything like that, this is the configuration I run now, and have done for a while. I stopped running it for a couple of weeks trying out other stuff, and my pc got root kit(which I got rid of with Panda) , and loadsa other c**p so I went back to the above and it runs well. Totally pleased with it.
I use XP and don’t like Vista, maybe that’s why it runs better…..
