Programs we endorse
The next thing you willthe need is a good spyware removal tool and the best around is Malwarebytes
The next thing thats needed is after all the cleanups and dumping junk of the hard drive is Defragmentation and since win7 does not come with it built in here is a link to a FREE program that does a good job
The above image is of a customers hard drive and its so split up that it barely ran since windows had to jump all over the plaec to find files A drive that has been defragged looks more like this
Notice that the files are at the beginning of the drive and windows does NOT have to jump around to find anything
Next you will need a Brwoser,forget about
edge its slow and not very customizable unlike firefox which is both fast,reliable and totally ready to look and run the way YOU want with tons of add-ons that are also FREE
You can contact us to find out how to limit the amount of stuff that runs at startup and give your self back some of the RAM that you are wasting since all you really need at startup is your volume control and your virus scanner
The first thing I tell customers is to run a Belarc report it will scan your system and give you a comprehensive list of all software,hardware and security as well as license info for everything on your pc and this way any tech who might have to work on it can rebuild it exactly as it was when it crashed in the worst case scenario
We all know that with multiple programs on your pc it shard to keep up with all the myriad updates for each,so I found a FREE program that allows you to both scan and update any program you need and YOU get to select what to update, not some AI
As you can see the interface is simple it shows you r apps and YOU decide which to update click update and let it run
IN a normal year I test hundreds of apps and I only recommend the ones that I have seen that are actually useful and FREE why pay for a program when a FREE version does the exact same job?
We all encounter PDF files in our internet travels and while MOST browsers now have the ability to read them,not all have this capability so I have found Sumatra PDF which is both FREE and takes up way less system resources, as an example Adobe reader is 112 MB and runs at startup even if you never open a PDF ,while Sumatra is only 600 KB and uses nothing till it opens a PDF document
