Solve : What is the best pc tuneup?? |
|
Answer» I have installed pc tuneups and today I want to see everyone's opinions about these softwares. Plz reply for suggestions or questions None of them at all. I suggest that you don't use any of them. Quote from: Quantos on April 03, 2013, 11:58:26 PM None of them at all. I suggest that you don't use any of them. Ditto.I am answering your PM here. Do not PM for support, you won't get it. Don't use them because they don't work and they usually make a mess of the computer.Registry utilities cause problems, they don't cure them. The best registry utilities are benign and do absolutely nothing. The worst of them can leave your system useless. If you are having specific issues with your system please tell us about them and we'll try to help. Quote from: Quantos on April 03, 2013, 11:58:26 PM None of them at all.

Did this a while back with a Windows XP computer using BlackViper's info here: http://www.blackviper.com/service-configurations/black-vipers-windows-xp-x86-32-bit-service-pack-3-service-configurations/ And then created a ghost image of this system after going through this as a clean optimized baseline for my prior gaming rig. After all, a clean installation of Windows is what services etc, Microsoft Believes you need, and there are features you probably dont need that are enabled that can be dumped from automatic service start to optimize a system. Newer systems will probably not see much of a gain from removing unnecessary common Windows services, but the single-core Athlon XP 2800+ 2.08Ghz I was running saw a good gain removing unnecessary services and remving the bloatware that came with the Compaq from factory. I transformed the XP installation from clutter of unneeded services and programs to as clean and optimized as can be without removing important services etc. I also saw a great gain in performance by running this system without Norton Antivirus on it. I installed a removable HD bay and made an 80GB optimized drive and then used the sytem recovery CD's to make a 40GB drive to build as factory with antivirus running etc which didnt need to be optimized, but needed to be secure. Would swap hard drives and boot system up for whatever purpose I needed, 40GB for slow and secure, or 80GB for fast and at risk only if I downloaded anything without testing it first from the 40GB build. *Never got infected and the system ran nice and fast on that 80GB that was clean as could be. A long time ago I used Norton System Works and it caused problems on my systems registry. Since then if I want to optimize my system, I will manually do it, and create a registry backup copy first before making any large changes that are not as simple as flipping a 1 to a 0 etc.I was SEVERELY dissapointed when MS REMOVED hardware profiles feature after XP... It was the most efficient WAY of testing DIFFERENT service setups. But since the Topic isn't really about services i'll add my 2 cents and state i wouldn't recommend any of the products listed above...Period.Thankyou very much for the advices. By the way I did not really use any pc tuneups (i just installed them), but it is good to hear all this advices. I am using "Delete" now, a simple program that lets you delete large quantity of files that you don't need. Quote from: Whitebeard1 on April 05, 2013, 05:54:42 AM I am using "Delete" now, a simple program that lets you delete large quantity of files that you don't need.Where can this "Delete" program be found? Just curious.No matter where it can be found i'd bet a cheeseburger Tuesday that remnants of those apps will still be lurking afterwards...The "Delete" program is a application installed with the antivirus 360computer guard. But it is a application in China and somehow it cannot work in other countries maybe because of connection. But one of it's function"delete" is still USEABLE so i took it out from the app. It is pretty useful as you can delete a bunch of files(for example, all zip files, and ,any more deleting functions)I've never heard of an app that wouldn't work depending on what country you are in...nor would i trust it. However glad it worked for you.No one would reccommend ccleaner? Quote from: Wyngs on April 12, 2013, 08:40:28 PM No one would reccommend ccleaner?In my opinion, CCleaner is good maintenance tool. I've used it for years. |
