Computer Program to optimize (speed up and remove trash) on windows 7

[shreddingdefense]

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?

I run AVG, Superantisypware, and Spybot in safe mode to remove everything. Then run CCleaner to clean other crap off my pc. My laptop runs smooth afterwards every time. I also defrag every now and then.

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

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.

I wouldn't mess with nuking. It' unnecessary. If anti-virus is slowing you down then your computer isn't that good or there's a hardware problem. Unless your antivirus is Norton. Norton takes up too much space.
