what programs do you use to improve speed and overall perforance of your PC?
I use:
-Tuneup Utilities 2008(drive defrag+more)
-RegCure(registry repair)
-CCleaner(also registry, frees up diskspace)
-AdAware 2007(removes spy- and adware)
-Bootvis(improves boot speed)
-Winsock Fix(fixes network problems)

Disk cleaner
Disk Defragmenter
CCleaner
HP Health Check
Kaspersky Internet Security
All of these run weekly besides the monthly Disk Defragmenter. Anti-Virus helps keep it up to speed, viruses and other threats can easily slow your system down.
I HATE registry cleaners with a passion, only use the cleaning part of CCleaner. I do not trust any registry cleaners, plus the speed you get from them is not all that great, it is kind of a waist of time.

well, after running RegCure and cleaning up over 800 registry errors, my pc was a lot faster. sow it does work, and i haven't had any ussues with regcure.
also, what's the health check and disk cleaner?
Oyeah, i forgot to add the conveniently named: xp_remove_hotfix_backup
it removes useless update backups, which can sometimes take up several GBs.

Health Check is a pre-installed program from HP that checks everything on your PC.

If you want my opinion, stay away from it unless you know what you are doing 100%!

go to Google and type in CCleaner, download it and run it, do NOT use the registry cleaner in CCleaner, only the part that clears the trash out.

I use McAfee Enterprise and I manually go through and delete files and such to keep my computer fast and not laggy.
