Tune Up Your Windows Computer

[@kjemradio]

I totally agree with you on MS Sec Essentials. That is probably the most lightweight/unbloated anti-virus program ever (Norton, McAfee, Avast, Zone Alarm are just bloated and over thought). A nice deep clean in the registry with Eusing reg cleaner works great in conjunction with CCleaner.

[@ligerman30]

There is a disk defragmenter built into windows. It's accessible though the control panel.

[@tomtoka]

I recommend Hiren's CD, it is a boot CD, looks like mini winXP, but it has a lot of tool

[@jimroad471]

eli i loaded both utilities you suggested and they work very nicely..thanks jim

[@kjemradio]

You should have also mentioned msconfig (start > run > msconfig) the startup tab has check boxes that users can turn off what they don't want booting with Windows. Also services.msc (start > run > services.msc) is another way to set what starts when Windows boots. If you don't know what something does (or is dependent on) Google the service. Perhaps one day MS will get it right and get rid of the stupid registry.

Well, I think because lesson wasn't about security but performance and firewalls don't rather contribute to overall performance of the operating system., they just don't use up that much resources, and don't have tendency to slow down the system.

[@TheEfreitora]

Seriously man, you should have your own tv show :D

[@Kyee71]

Is there a reason why you left out information about firewalls?

[@VicDemise]

Great stuff- I can say CCleaner is a GREAT program- and free. Keeps my system running like new (almost?) People- get it!

[@RangaTurk]

What about Comodo in terms of free antivirus software?

[@Sh9168]

Eli, It's C cleaner not CC cleaner. I used to make the same mistake.

[@JasonGmann]

Would using the msconfig help with cleaning up the start up programs also? I use this for myself but if it would make it better using the registry way could you tell me? I would rather do it the correct or better way, i don't like using 3rd party programs and manually is usually better for me.

[@TheBillproject]

Dude, Microsoft Security Essentials ROCKS! if I pay would be kaspersky. NO NORTON or Symantec either corporate or home thank you ! I never had more nightmares from those 2!

[@PolitSatira]

C cleaner, not c c cleaner, right?

[@StigDesign]

seems you forgotten Grapic card Controll panell under start upp. :)

[@elithecomputerguy]

@amraag2010 Avira isn't on anyones "best of" list... If you want free AVG or AVAST! will do you well. I personally like Microsoft Security Essentials. Tune Up Utilities that you pay for are usually scams. I like CCleaner for basic Registry cleaning and such...

[@balancedboy5085]

Hey Eli, can you do a little review or update on the Spybot Search And Destroy, Download and install, BECAUSE it has changed and Im not very sure we can follow all steps at this point, thanks man! (ive seen three vids in arrow already, thumps up for you man)

[@cjhill2286]

your intros are always good

[@dhanurdhar1954]

hey Eli good job.... did you get that statue of Shiva yourself? its great men!!! I was just watching Pc's themes and suddenly see this.... was funny !!! Where Did you get that huge one.... Cheers

[@techisawesome9783]

I call it CCcleaner, but it's actually Ccleaner.

[@GmanObrero]

I was trying to find the max RAM my motherboard can handle. Yahoo answers directed me to crucial.com . Eli would you suggest I trust this site and their products?

[@tooearlyforjokes]

yea a drill with a masonry bit prolly wont cut much... maybe tangle some wires for ya

[@iFailWale]

No it's CC Leaner obviously.

[@argenisaguilar9467]

very interesting and useful...nice job...thanks so much

[@Sh9168]

I use REVO uninstaller for uninstalling. It is free and gets rid of the whole program.

[@ppkgaming210]

yes you need it

[@Cordelljackson713]

The ask toolbar won't uninstall. I think the computer thinks its already uninstalled. Somebody help please.

[@FLUDDzone]

HOLY SH*T HE HAS A DRILL

[@GamersGoneExtinct]

Did you mean CCleaner ?

[@pipizondersnuif1335]

c cleaner, its a prgram

[@brandonfarfan1978]

Nice advice. That intro was funny though. Lol!

[@StigDesign]

Greate&important advices :D

[@chrischapman4168]

It's C Cleaner, not CC Cleaner

[@chrischapman4168]

I used to say the same thing.

[@ApricotData474]

I'm sure mac needs a tune up like everything else.

[@brandonfarfan1978]

The funny thing is, some mac users claim, that macs don't need a tune up.

[@datSaved]

sick

[@rajutr2950]

thanks

[@ApricotData474]

Norton sucks. Do not use Norton antivirus. Use Trend Micro or Kapirski.

[@mohiahmed1]

@elithecomputerguy dont forget comodo

[@StigDesign]

Lololol for the intro

[@juusovirtanen678]

HAH u sayd it was cccleaner just like my friend

[@midnitejam]

too much information before getting to the point. Sorry.

[@computergarage-australia2301]

+Billy Webb Eli likes to make his videos interesting

[@noseyparker6969]

2 minute intro...lol

[@Fijocha]

Eli, you're funny but obviously are receiving payment from Apple to say that Macs don't need tuneups. As more and more people use them, more garbage software is being created for them and more issues arise. This reminds me of the salespeople claims that Macs cannot get malware or viruses. Have your Apple shares not made you enough money already? Stop the lies please.
