    PC Optimizers

    Is there any sort of worthwhile PC optimizer? My computer is running like shit lately, and I dunno whats up. Ive run anti-virus, defragged, disk cleanup all that usual shit, but its still slow, especially loading up chrome and things like that. Its not a very old computer either, couple years maybe

    Have you tried a malware removal program... and dumping some of the porn.

    Ok, seriously now. Might be worth it to throw some more RAM in.

    and

    Adware

    These are the two free programs that I have used for several years with great success.

    It's been awhile since I had my own PC, but AGV anti-virus was pretty good too.

    My dad told me I could be anything I wanted when I grew up. So I became an Asshole.

    If you don't know what it's called you aren't finding it in msconfig. It's probably in his registry.

    Browse your porn in Incognito mode so no cookies are saved. And do what everyone else said. CC cleaner is a good place to start to get rid of junk and clean your registry. I believed they went to pay only but its worth the cost IMO.
