What is the best program for optimizing Windows 7?

[fringer]

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?

[j2k4]

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 .

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

I use CCleaner for my Windows 7 box. All I really want to optimize is just the stuff CCleaner takes care of anyway.

If I really wanted to spend time doing more stuff, I'd use Perfect Disk to defrag the HD.
