Hi

New laptop is already starting to run slowly. Piggin Windows 8.


I used to have Norton 360 which had various function to do disc clean
up, defrag etc.

Not sure if Norton 360 still has those functions? Don't like the price
of it either.

Anyone recommend a download that will clean up & improve speed?


I gave up reading all the posts half way through the "Linus" thread so
someone else may have already said this.

I would suggest running ccleaner, particularly the "cleaner" and the
"registry cleaner" options, and malwarebytes.

Both free, both reliable IMHO. The usual caveat applies when downloading
to watch that you don't inadvertently click to download other stuff, and
you don't agree to use Ask or to change your default search engine.
