Guest t-4-2 Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Hello everyone, I have a feeling that I got "carried away" installing all those "protection" programs. I have : -- McAfee, CCleaner, Spybot Search&Destroy, WinDirtStat, Ad-Aware 2007(free), SuperAntiSpyware(free), Auslogic Disk Defrag. Should I get rid of one or two programs ? -- t-4-2 Quote
Guest DL Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I'd get rid of WinDirtStat - I believe it was designed for win9 - & Auslogic - not really neccessary The free versions of SpyBot & Adaware only run if you explicitly run them, generally they do no harm I only use CCleaner to clear temp files McAfee, if its the antiVirus app, then you have to pay for a subscription, after the trial period. And I'd be surprised if your new PC didnt come with a trail of some AV app "t-4-2" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:f200fefcf9f19b3781f3e7cd6d8f7fca@nntp-gateway.com...<span style="color:blue"> > > Hello everyone, > I have a feeling that I got "carried away" installing all those > "protection" programs.

I run quite a few maintenance applications. The only thing that will cause problems is software running in memory. Such as McAfee, I'd get rid of that and use Anti-Vir or AVG or some other freeware virus applications. Quote
Guest Milo Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Its not much of a trouble just batch them up not to run all together specially in realtime - designate a time schedule for some and for the priority "t-4-2" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:f200fefcf9f19b3781f3e7cd6d8f7fca@nntp-gateway.com...<span style="color:blue"> > > Hello everyone, > I have a feeling that I got "carried away" installing all those > "protection" programs.
