opinions needed.
 

Just got off the phone to a punting mate of mine who,
Recommended a free product called Slim Cleaner v2 for,
Cleaning up computer junk.

Not being that knowledgeable regarding computers,
Can anyone give me a wrap on this or leave it alone.

Just google up slim cleaner.
Appreciate if someone else can give me an opinion,
On whether to download it or not,

It is free.

Cheers.

garyf, as a general rule I would never install any of these types of programs as they almost always come with unwanted & unnecessary 'additional baggage'.

If your pc is running poorly or having lots of problems it is a much better option to start from scratch & reinstall Windows.

Thanks noriskUnless somebody actually has it installed and can tell,
Me otherwise i think i will heed your advice.

Especially with all the important stuff i have on the computer.

Cheers.

CCleaner, but know first what to tick and in "registry clean" don't tick Fonts, it can mess up ya Fonts on everything.

Then use COMODO System-Cleaner and possibly try to find some other browser then IE.

Google also seems to be overwhelming if ya don't know what it's doing, but try to minimize Google, FB and all those things based on advertising revenue, that's if ya puter is "seriously" set up for the punt...

This is a free cleanup program that all you need to do is install and run no need to adjust, on first run it will do a simulation if you want but it is safe to use.

He does ask for donations but you can just click no and i guarantee that no adwear or anything else install.

There are some options but not needed to change unless you want to save some cookies.

Thanks that's actually the one i now use the c cleaner
Was recommended by my local computer store.

Cheers.

Might get this as well and have them both.
They won't conflict will they? if that's the word.

Cheers.

No they won't, i have never trusted CCleaner because of the damage it can cause if incorrectly set so just because what you select.

OK thanks.

Cheers.

Gary I'm mostly with norisk on this. I'd be taking regular snapshots of your system using some of the very good utilities available (TrueImage comes to mind), and when needed revert to one of your saved snapshots. Been doing IT for a very long time, and run a team responsible for a very large number of computers within a major Australia research organisation and I'd never advise any body use any of the clean-up "tools" available. Seriously more trouble than they're worth. Something like TrueImage will return your computer to a previous working state within minutes.
