What do you use?

OMG


even after seeing all the issues with them and the various write-ups comdemning them- you all buy these bloody programs like Tuneup utilities and Advanced System Care and System mechanic.


Sometimes I wonder if we're talking to a brick wall.


CCleaner and chkdsk are enough for me.

Common sense is my main tool
Other than that, CCleaner, JKDefrag, NTREGOPT, Bootvis.

I use what is suggested in the below link.

http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html

Well I use everything except for any of the AV's because my company demands that we use Symantec

On my desktop at home and my wife's laptop we use what is in the link and Avast.

Well, I only have the free version.  I don't use it very often either!  I also use ccleaner and chkdsk! 

Be nice!!

paudashlake , like you i use ccleaner and advanced system care its great , what i use of it

Ccleaner and defraggaler

Harry:  I usually use everything in it, but I use ccleaner instead of the junk file remover........CCleaners' more thourough

Advanced System Care is recommended by the guys at http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/! I'm wondering now ....

Giveawayoftheday offers some pretty crap software. I visit the site every day. Much of the software being given away are things we recommend users not getting.
Just read the reviews for the program.

If I was in your position, I would ignore those. They are absolutely necessary. They are all related to Internet Explorer. If it is working fine, don't have it do anything.

Now for the Carbon answer:

what would you advise me do , harry

Uninstall the program!

I agree....the errors in pic 2 it is reporting wants it to compromise your security level on top of being false readings....if the report was in fact valid you would have no internet connection right now.

Now for the Carbon answer:

no carbon just have a lay down in a darkened room , only joking 


i understand that they are for windows but when a check says error you think twice thats why i never take out things unless i'm sure or advised , harry

If Windows works, don't let a random program change your settings to 'make it work better'.

i understand that and never do , but thats it all sorted any-way and thanks for your help as always , harry

I agree with this. "If it's not broke don't try to fix it"

Harry:  I have never seen that part of advanced systemcare.  Where is it?

the top one , system optimization , when it brings up errors and you click it they are the ones that come up , but i was never going to take them out , harry
