Vanquish,

A full tweak is UNLIKELY. There are too many problems with setting ram speed, etc...

And PLEASE do NOT fall for the "You should also defrag your computer on a regular basis." garbage. It takes a LONG time, puts stress on the heads, encourages soft errors, makes soft errors harder, and slows down your system for the LONG period that it is running. In short, you will LOSE more than you could generally ever hope to achieve, and could cut the life of your drive into a fraction of what it should be.

If you REALLY have a problem, and REALLY want the benefit, maybe defrag once a year or less often and consolidate free space once a month or less often. Defrags DO generally consolidate space, but space consolidation gives you much of the benefit and reduces future fragmentation, and takes less time and puts less wear and tear on your drive than a full defrag. In fact, a consolidation may take only a few minutes while a defrag could take over a day!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions I will look into the programs mentioned!

A program If been using for years is Spybot search and destroy, its free and it finds programs that are often sneakily bundled with other programs, and removes them. As well as finds malicious ware, trojans and such.

Hi,
You can use these softwares

Yeah, it's called the utilities that came with Windows.

-Disk defragmenter (very important IMHO)
-Scandisk
-Windows configuration utility
-regedit
-DX Diagnostic tool

Anything else is a waste IMHO.

You can then take the money you just saved, and buy a real antivirus antispyware tool like Norton Antivirus (my fav).

I use Eset and Windows Defender and I have never had any computer problems since I started using them.

I don't use anything else.
