in Techie Stuff
HI
My laptop is running slow. I've read Martin's blog and some info on here, so I thought I'd run ccleaner and possibly defraggler. When I follow the link on the blog to ccleaner, Piriform asks for payment of £19.99 :eek:
I have previously used ccleaner on a different pc for free.
ATM I'm using MS Essentials and I run adaware occasionally. I have previously used Spybot on a different pc but had problems gettingit to update and then read somewhere that it wasn't so good
Can someone advise please:
1 Is what I'm using already OK (MSE and adaware)
2 Is ccleaner available free
3 Is there anything else I can add in that's easy for a non techie person
Thanks in advance

Neither ccleaner or defraggler will make any difference to speed, your choice of security software is probably part of the problem
