Where can i find free computer clean up sites?

ChrissyG asked:


They offer free down loads but then to actually use the program to clean up you have to buy the software. I’ve used a free one before i just can’t remember what it was. Help me speed up my laptop.
Ok so how do i know what progams are safe to remove? There is a program that figures this out for me!

    Glarysoft.com. CCleaner.com They work very good. but i found another one that works better. Here’s the link. All free.

    You can free up disk space by removing programs you don’t use anymore. Then run the programs i listed to get all the unused registry keys. Glary soft even has a utility to get rid of empty folders that are taking up room on your hard drive. It also defrags the registry making your machine run faster.

    A website cannot clean-up a computer. Only an installed software can.

    Damn I really want to say something about the ignorance, NOT THE INTELLIGENCE, about todays computer user about such things….but I won’t. A sad story.

    For good computer security you need to do a minimum of 4 things.

    1. Run a firewall.

    2. Use a good anti-virus with real-time protection.

    3. Do a regular scan with a dedicated anti-spyware,

    4. Keep Windows and all your other installed software, 100% updated and patched with all important and security updates.
    ______________________________________________

    My recommendations:

    1. For the home user of XP or Vista, Windows Firewall is adequate, even more so if one is using a router, which is a very good firewall in itself. Make sure your Windows Firewall is turned on.

    2. For your Anti-Virus……(Always use only 1 A-V…You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus, Even an expired anti-virus can cause a major conflict…did I mention that you MUST uninstall any and all, old anti-virus products?)

    I would suggest Avast, the newest version 4.8. Avast now includes anti-virus, some anti-spyware capability and anti-rootkit components. And all for the low low price of free. You can get it here:

    3. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs…
    SUPERAntiSpyware:

    They have a free version.

    4. Use Secunia PSI to insure that all your software is kept always updated and patched against vulnerabilities that are often exploited to compromise computers. Very important.

    Its free as is everything else here. Saving cash these days is important

    Please download and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, update it and run a full scan. Remove everything it finds.

    After disinfection, download and install Avira AntiVir if you do not have an anti-virus installed.

    If you are still having problems with your computer, I recommend that you go to bleepingcomputer.com in order to remove all traces of malware in your computer.
