749971 2009-02-21 03:04:00 Does anyone know of a software that is not only free to download but does NOT have a fee/charge to register?

My Computer is SO slow running all of these processes but i don't know which ones to stop and which ones to keep.

I've used HijackThis, and SpyBot:Search and Destroy, but neither got rid of my unnecessary processes...

749972 2009-02-21 03:05:00 Ccleaner has the option to stop stuff running at startup. I only 3 things running there my antivirus, firewall and mouse software. That alone makes a huge difference gary67 (56)

What anti-virus software do you use?

749975 2009-02-21 03:11:00 SpartanEngineerAstraunaut-You need to post a log here, and tick entries we tell you to fix to remove crap. Running it by itself doesn't do a thing.

Have you defragged lately? Do a scan with MalwareBytes and see if you have any malware
Update, then scan

And MalwareBytes is not shareware? For which you pay in the event you use the said program on a regular basis.

Quote from editors review:




Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a surprisingly effective freeware antimalware tool.


And sweep, he just wants a tool to make his computer fast. TBH it doesn't matter if its shareware, trialware or freeware, as long as it does its job and does it well.
Take trojan remover for example. 30 day trial ,but it still removes viruses.

749978 2009-02-21 06:36:00 Take the unneeded apps out of your startup and Tweak windows services.
That will kill off the processes you don't want.

749979 2009-02-21 06:45:00 I've got a brand new drive, we tried to image it, and when we started it up it went into a recovery mode and recovered all my files and stuff. But it acted like a brand new Computer...
I've never defragged for the life of my laptop, which is 1.5 years old...
