Computer Optimization

This guide, i will guarantee personally, will make your computer better, faster, and more stable with the operations of these programs.

****Disclaimer***** By reading my guide you agree to my terms and conditions which are as follows.... any misuse of these programs or damaging results from them is not my fault and you do here by at your own risk use these programs which are mere suggestions on my part which I have found to be very beneficial. I have never had a problem with any of these so you should be good : ).

All the programs will be freeware or will have a time duration on them. I do not want you to buy anything this is strictly for your benefit. But if you should so choose be my guest, it will only help you more if anything though the general use of the these programs can be used without the need to pay for the upgrade.

Some of these programs will have install yahoo toolbar or something to that effect do yourself a favor and un-check them. You don't want that stuff on your computer it makes everything icky.

Also i recommend checking out another very good guide that has many other suggestions is the Windows XP guide here on instructables...

With all of these minus the boost speed (will explain) I would suggest regularly looking for updates and running the scans to keep everything solid and organized!

Lastly, all the links i provide are safe and not to dangerous places, so no worries in that department..

Step 1 Malware Removal

1. My favorite malware destroyer and general icky remover, Malware Bytes. Here's the download link,

This program is free don't be fooled by it wanting you to buy it, you can maintain full usage of it just without the constant protection aspect, it is merely for scanning your computer and locating, and by your choosing elimination of harmful malware from your computer. I have found this to be more effective than most of the leading professional malware removal programs. Even if you think you do not have anything on your computer you might be surprised what it picks up. Malware comes from many different sources mostly the web. Its safe to assume most people don't try to get infected but certain links are contagious, or are downloading harmful files in the background without your knowledge. This helps to eliminate that threat. To work with this program you should go to the update tab near the top of it once you finish installing. Then run a full system scan, this may take a while even if you have a fast computer. I recommend running before bed or if you go out for awhile. When it finishes scanning it will pop up and tell you if anything was found. Then it will start up a notepad showing you specifically what was scanned and what the program returned. If anything is found it will give you the option to remove said infection. Enjoy!
