Whats up guys, I have kinda fallen away from the computer group since I got my first bike (yzf-600r :D), however I have some more time now and I was wondering what programs you guys use for a cleaning/optimization. When I used to clean my computer like daily I would first uninstall any applications I no longer used, then run ad-aware, and spybot, followed up by diskeeper, but I relize these programs may no longer be the best and I was wondering what most experience users run to keep their machines spyware/virus free, and running in tip top shape.

    I'l move this to the Software forum, so others can see this. :)

    My suggestions are (in no particular order):

    - Keep Ad-Aware & Spybot, updated of course.
    - Get Ewido - One of the better programs out there in my opinion
    - Definitely clear your Temp files
    - Make sure you have an Anti-Virus & Firewall
    - Uninstall programs you don't use
    - Use Firefox instead of IE. Otherwise get SiteHound for IE

    Thats all I can think of at the moment.

    I do pretty much all the things, except I didn't have ewido, I downloaded and tried it out. Found 41 items that ad-aware, spybot, xoftspy did not find. Very nice. Any other things you should do to keep your pc running fast besides the above listed and defragging daily?
