Help cleaning up please.

Hello,

I had some great help here a couple of weeks ago to get my PC working better. I have changed ISP and would like to get rid of any unneeded or unnecessary files please. I am so pleased with how my PC has been since the help last time I would like to keep it tidy.


Thank you
Thanks for any help and advice given
~~~Nicky~~~

    I'd start by getting rid of those surplus toolbars, and uninstall Rapport.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    For a start you could go to "run" type in msconfig and go to the startup tab - remove things you do not need starting up when you boot your computer, download ccleaner and run that then run the registry cleaner in there too - download Defraggler and defrag your drive, these will all have positive effects on your machine no matter what your specs are but its always better to have at least 4GB Ram.

    Uninstall any software you no longer need like those useless toolbars and any unused drivers - SecuROM User Access Service (V7) can slow certain things down but that takes a little more work to remove.

    PS - Keep a hold of rapport for now, get yourself Eset Smart Security.
    The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.

    Google Toolbar and MSN Toolbar.
    Lots of banks offer Rapport, but many consider to to be spyware in it's own right, see the many debates on this forum and others. No bank makes it compulsory to use.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    You don't need to post a CCleaner Registry log, just clean it!
    You can uninstall genuine programs via Control Panel.
