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.

I think that he said that he has used Ccleaner and it made a big
difference.
Up there somewhere with the Linux ****e.


I found that later, and others have mentioned malwarebytes too.

I have two less than 12 month old lap tops to sort out next week for a
highly paid person who works for the local council. He has a degree you
know.
He is basically as thick as pig ****, as is his highly paid bimbo wife and
his two spoilt dumbo brats who do not know where the Romans came from.
It's W8 and I've done it before for him, I'm still XP but okay with W7.
Last time there was nearly 1000 bad things on their machines.
Dumb Britain.
