I've had Windows 7 on my computer for a few months now and I want to clean it up and optimize it. What program would you recommend for that?
Don't know what you'd want to optimize - run crap cleaner and call it good.
There are several software available for specific tasks, which can be described as optimizations.
Try Mydefrag for the HDD, and yamicsoft if you know what you're doing.
I'd also recommend using hijackthis, if you really know what you're doing.
id also just go with crap cleaner just for the simplicity it gives tune up utilities aint bad either in my opinion
hello!
one question... does all those so called optimization appz any real difference?
I tried to put some of them to use but nothing seems to really work or do something "special" =/
I always try to keep my computer well organized and I think that helps a lot already (just comparing to some friends with computer with better hardware that are "somehow" slower than mine).
btw, I wouldn't consider hijackthis as a software for optimization
I like Windows 7 Manager for system info and tools , very good program . I also use Classic Start Menu as I hate the Win7 start menu .
I use Tuneup , Ccleaner and Diskeeper to keep me running smooth .

Godmode is fun too , Clocker has a thread about it .
There are a couple of apps by IOBit software that are very good but the tune up utilities one is called Advanced System Care and includes spyware check, registry optimise, privacy clean /temp file clean and defrag & system optimization. I have run both CCleaner and AWC and personally think that AWC is the better app, it is another choice at least. The other program I use by IOBit is IS360 an anti malware app.
TuneUp Utilities is the best :)
All three of these are very good programs. i recommend!

If I really wanted to spend time doing more stuff, I'd use Perfect Disk to defrag the HD.
I must say that since I've installed Windows 7, all I've really used is CCleaner. I also have TuneUp Utilities installed, but (to me) that's much slower than CCleaner.
Me too. Wish there was a way to bring back the old XP Start Menu.Quote:

did you try ccleaner?
TuneUp is always my favorite
Use CCleaner.
TuneUp Utilities 2010 ,it's great!
ccleaner gets my vote
I also needed.
Can u let me know
this thread is helpful..
thx
TuneUp2010 ftw
CCleaner for on the fly but I have been using Advanced SystemCare and my stuff is running great. I used the registry cleaner in ASC and followed up with ccleaner's and very rarely does ccleaner pick up anything after ASC did it's job. They both seem to have similar aggressiveness with their registry cleaning methods. ASC also has many other included tools including a scheduler for disk defragging and quick access to Windows tools.
CCleaner
Tune up 2010 is good. also Winaso
Great thread, I'll have to try out some of these programs on my new windows 7 laptop!
I would recommend the Windows 7 install disk.Quote:

If you are a Windows user, I also suggest utilizing Microsoft Security Essentials. This is also free if you own a genuine copy of Windows.
I use Windows 7 Manager and CCleaner.
ccleaner :D
