Please don't recommend some that have spyware included--that's what I'm trying to get rid of. Free software would be nice, but I'd pay for it if it were great.
What is the best software to cleanup and speed up my pc?norton
The best way to clean up and speed up your pc is not to use software other than whats already there.
do the normal stuff...
delete temp files
go to msconfig and take out any unnecessary programs from the startup.
uninstall any searchbars/companions ( like yahoo,msn,google etc... they are just extra junk)
run an online spyware and antivirus scan
(you can do both and they are good at trendmicro.com's site for free)
defrag your hard drive.
pull up windows task manager ( windows key +r , or start-run-taskmgr )
Look at the processes tab ... if you dont know what some of those running processes are you can look them up on google or whatever. just type in teh process image name.
This will let you know if something is running that shouldnt be. which hopefully after doing all of that there isnt.
Go to the performance tab, look at the physical memory section
and check total physical memory. then look at available.
Right after bootup you should have more than 50% of your ram ( thats the physical memory ) available.
