I'm wondering is anyone using any sort of program that cleans up your pc from viruses and malware but also gets your pc to run brand new. RIght now i'm just using avast internet security and malwarebytes. It takes longer to boot up now then when i first got it.

 

Anyone got any idea how to boost up performance and speed without buying a new pc or getting more memory?

Btw I had a nasty virus a couple weeks ago. It would replicate my desktop. I could see 2 explorer.exe files in task manager. You're only supposed to have 1, that's your desktop. This virus would replicate the desktop and then take up all of the available memory left. The normal amount explorer.exe is supposed to take up is around 50,000 K of memory. This mother fuger was taking up around 2,000,000 K of memory! It lagged the poo out of my pc. I couldn't remove it unless I did scans in safe mode. It wouldn't get removed in normal mode. That was one bad bitch.

'Boot and nuke' that poo

Dban.com edit- dban.org

Have a disc and save all your programs.

Make sure you know what you're doing before you nuke it. I nuke my computer once or twice a year. It doesn't protect you so you still have to be careful. I don't like anti virus software it slows my computer down.

Nuking it strips it of everything except windows, but you'll need the window disc and/or the code given to you when you bought it and you'll have to reinstall anything not on your disc you saved things to.

I nuke a few laptops and a few desktops every year. I have an expensive Mac I haven't done poo to and still runs the best...Apple is great for this but is so damn expensive.

I don't look up porn and i don't have a windows 7 disk to reinstall it if i was to nuke it, computer is 4 years old.   I use to have a program that would remove any unnessary starting up programs, clean your registry, remove any and all viruses/malware, defrag and speed up computer all in one. I was wondering if there was something out there like that but not cost alot to update every year.

      Greg hardy arrested for assault.

      I met him at an OTA when he was rookie.  I liked him, and so did my small children.  I got a photo of him with my kids, and his nylon stretch shirt was ripped off his shoulder and down his side.  I remember thinking, "This was an OTA.  He must have been battling so hard (going full speed) that the OT grabbed him and ripped off his shirt."   Normally, there is a "rule" that you stop when you are not in full pads when the other player shows that he controlled you or is in position to--like pulling up and not hitting the RBs.  I got the feeling that he was going full throttle.  Just speculation, but it was consistent with what we would learn about him.

      Some people just want to get the attention of a celebrity and feel zero empathy for that player's feelings or personal space.  My dad was lifelong friends with some big names in football (Roman Gabriel, Dan Reeves) and baseball (Pete Rose and Tommy Helms of the Reds) and I learned very young that they are people doing a job and really want to be treated like everyone else.  So when I see a celebrity in public who is flying under the radar, I try not to bring attention to myself or them--I might wave if we make eye contact but that is about it.  Flashback In Washington DC (Georgetown) I was eating at a restaurant with my then fiance (she dumped me later--still hurts) and at the end of the dinner, I whispered to her, "Do not look back until we are getting up to leave, but do you know who has been sitting behind you for about 15 minutes?"  She said, "No.  Who?"  I stood to leave, so she turned around while picking up her purse, saw him, and turned back around to look at me with a shocked facial expression.  It was Billy Crystal.  I put my finger over my lips to keep her quiet, but she turned toward him and said, "You look Marvelous!! (one of his famous lines) and proceeded to tell him that her favorite movie is The Princess Bride, a film Crystal had a small part in as Miracle Max.  Grabbing her upper arms from behind, I looked at Crystal sympathetically and he cracked a faint grin--and I gently pulled her toward the exit.  She was mad at me for not telling her sooner and said that I embarrassed her by pulling her away.  I told her "You had already embarrassed yourself.  I was just doing some damage control."  I knew that she had exposed him, and how much he was valuing his anonymity until she sounded the trumpets.
