      I stopped using any of these tools back in XP days. They figure using these utils actually speed up their computer. Doing a clean install of Windows and ONLY the apps you need is the best way to clean up a system.

    Very good advice Brian. Many years ago I used I-Obit Advanced System Care to tune PCs. One of my clients clicked on something in the program and it took me two days working with a Bleeping computer malware specialist to remove a browser hijacker. Following that experience, I removed ASC from all the computers I could and never used it again. Lesson learned!

    Thanks Brian.
    The tools needed for Windows maintenance are already there. Windows Automatic Maintenance will accomplish essentially everything that these "cleaners" frequently claim. Without the need for additional third-party software, the tools used during Windows Automatic Maintenance can also be run manually as necessary, with limited exceptions.

    When I was a ITC technician back in '98, I saw a lot of this even in the early days, most people just don't want to spend much money to solve issues, either do your research & buy a new computer or pay a decent PC technician to streamline your system, most will provide this service for the price of a bit of software.✌

  • @daze1945
    @daze1945 Год назад +1

    Great advice. I have used several "improvement" programs over the years and quite often, after using them to "clean" my PC, I find I get problems with some programs, no apparent performance boost etc. I do find that the uninstaller programs such as Revo do find lots of leftovers that Windows uninstaller leaves behind. Whether that really makes a difference I don't know. I guess making the registry database small can speed up things but I very much doubt it is measurable? 🤨

    Could you do a video about " file shredders? "Do they securely erase a file, or are they just snake oil like PC cleaners.
    You do a great service to your subscribers and we appreciate it.

    • @creepybeat
      @creepybeat Год назад +2

      HDShredder is the best software for this, and this is why you should use it for delete your files.
      windows file's data on the hard drive is not immediately erased, instead, the space that the file occupies on the hard drive is marked as available for use by the operating system.
      this means that the file's data remains on the hard drive until it is overwritten by new data. Overall, Windows does not actually delete a file when it is removed by the user, instead, it marks the file as deleted and makes its space available for use by the operating system, so it's possible to recover deleted files using specialized software that can scan the hard drive for data that has been marked as deleted but not yet overwritten.

    Back in the old days (98SE) I was not so Brite and used these stupid programs which fouled my PC. Now with newer windows I have no need and learned quite a bit and still learning.
    I do use Norton 360 for security but I do not use all of it. I no longer allow Norton to do maintenance cleaning, too many issues. I rely mostly on windows itself because there are great features built in. Other things like certain drivers and such that Microsoft doesn't provide I will get straight from the Manufacturer.
    I do allow windows updates, have backups should an update go sideways, update all programs that require it and drivers. Although admittedly I do need to run backups a little more often.
    A plan of recovery is key should it be needed.

    When I got my first PC after two years the HDD started to fail and the wife, now ex, was saying download this to fix it but I went on a website and someone said that the PC's HDD was about to fail so as the PC had a three year RTB warranty I sent it back to them and they diagnosed an imminent HDD failure and replaced the HDD, that was when 40GB was considered to be a lot of space on HDD's. Now if I run into problems I just reset the PC to factory settings and all the software I need is located on a separate HDD so I just grab it off the external drive and put a shortcut to it on the main drive.

    The very best method to regain a computer's speed it to do what we call "nuke and Pave". Backup your documents and do a clean install of Windows, deleting all the partitions. Then reinstall your programs and restore your documents. This takes a lot of time but is the very best method to get a lean and clean computer like when it came out of the box.

      I'd like to see Brian put that program to the test. "Tweaking" AIO Repair was one I raved about for years, but after one of the admins over at Malwarebytes told me how it's now doing more harm than good because it doesn't handle permissions and security correctly, I had to take a much closer look. I put it to the test and I have to agree, though I owe a lot to the developer, very nice and kind man, for some personal favors he has done for me in the past.

    • @davidbarton5974
      @davidbarton5974 Год назад

      If you search enough, you can also find very bad reviews on Malwarebytes, people swearing that it too does more harm than good, even though I am sure that is not right - so who knows who is correct? I think that if a programme does you no harm and you are happy to take the chance + pay the money, then stick with it.

      Ccleaner is okay, but do not install it. Just use the portable version and leave the registry alone. Bleachbit works very well too. Others have stated that Windows cleans up itself without 3rd party cleaners but I've found that Ccleaner or Bleachbit do a much more thorough job. I would suggest only running them once a month or so.

    Regarding driver updates. My roommate has an old laptop and he continues to use Windows 7 (I keep telling him to update it to Windows 10 but he refuses) as far as I know Windows 7 isn't receiving updates and isn't supported by Microsoft anymore so he is constantly having driver issues so he uses Driver Magician.

    Hi are this safe because theres many people say its risky because they can stole your password on google chrome and also if u already use this and u try scan using malwarebytes it will detect that outbyte is threat.

      I think Malwarebytes will only detect outbyte as adware or PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program)
