If you have Windows...
by SaFIREx Sat 2 Oct - 12:12:27
If you have windows and want to make sure you are protected and that your PC is as fast as it could be without making major changes, etc. I have made a very general and basic 'guide' for you.
CCleaner
CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. This software is a must for Windows.

1. Run CCleaner.
2. Tools> Start up> Disable unwanted programs.
3. Tools> Uninstall> Uninstall unwanted bloatware.
4. Run CCleaner again.
Antivirus
If you don't have an Anti-Virus and don't want to go through the pains of cracking it, etc.
1. Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus. http://www.free-av.com
2. Avast! Free Antivirus - http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download
3. Microsoft Security Essentials - http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
Antispyware (This is required along with an Antivirus.)
1. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
2. SpywareBlaster(along with the Antispyware.) - http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html
Auslogics Disk Defrag (Defragmentation)
Download and defrag.

Browser

This is very helpful. I have Antivirus, but I still need to get CCleaner.

@All
Don't use the Registry Cleaner if you don't know what you're doing.
