@artdba,
Hello Friends,
My computer, which celebrated its first birthday a few weeks ago, was lagging terribly. If possible, I try to not pay for my software. I play around with a lot of freeware registry cleaners, firewalls, anti-virus, and the like.
Avira AntiVirus - The problem with many anti-viruses is that they slow up your computer more than viruses do. Avira does not do that. The detection rate for Avira is top notch, and my computers run like new.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Emisoft Anti-Malware- I include two because some times these programs catch malware that the other program might not, and it is key to get this stuff off of your computer if you have been infected. Both programs are fast and easy to use. Malware is the catch-all term for all of the nasty problems that can infect your computer.
360amigo System Cleanup - 360amigo System Cleanup is an all-in-one software program. Its strategy is to speed up your computer by deleting junk files, unnecessary registry entries, and defragmenting your hard drive.
Auslogics Disk Defrag - It's a fast defragmenter that you can set and forget. A defragmenter organizes the files on your hard drive so that they are more quickly accessible.
Eusing Registry Cleaner - I love this puppy. It cleans my registry and keeps my computer running like new. Some registry cleaners get too aggressive and start deleting too much.
Clean Mem - Previously, I have not had a memory optimizer because they seem to slow up the computer just as much as they speed it up because they are always running.
Fences - If you're like me, you place a lot of items on your desktop for quick access. Because of this, the desktop can get overwhelmed at times.
Thanks And Regards.
