I hope you all are having a great weekend. My weekend has been eventful with another install of my operating system. Actually I installed Windows 7, all 7 is is a much needed service pack of Vista, I cant believe they are actually trying to sell this instead of being a patch. Anywho........

Today I wanted to talk about some utilities I use on my computer to keep it in tip top shape (when my computer wants to cooperate with me). First piece of software is called Advanced System Care.

Trusted by 35 Million Users to Care for Their PCs
Advanced SystemCare Free (formerly Advanced WindowsCare Personal) has a one-click approach to help protect, repair, clean, and optimize your PC. With over 35 MILLION downloads since 2006, this fantastic, award-winning, free PC repair software is a "must-have" tool for your computer. 100% safe with no adware, spyware, or viruses; a PC maintenance program that’s incredibly easy to use.
Why waste money on expensive "registry cleaners" to fix your PC when Advanced SystemCare Free will repair, tune, and maintain it for you – for free!



The second piece of software comes from the same company that brings us Advanced System Care and it is called Game Booster. I would recommend this little gem to anybody who uses flight simulator or any game for that matter. Designed to help optimize your PC for smoother, more responsive game play in the latest PC games with the touch of a button, Game Booster helps achieve the performance edge previously only available to highly technical enthusiasts. It works by temporarily shutting down background processes, cleaning RAM, and intensifying processor performance. That means you can keep all the features of Microsoft® Windows Vista® and XP® ready for when you need them, but turn them off when you are ready to get down to serious business – gaming. Game Booster makes it simpler to enjoy the latest games and take your experience to a new level. All systems go!



The third piece of software I use is called CCleaner. CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :)



I use an Anti Malware called Ad-Aware. And Anti Spyware called Spybot Search and Destroy. I hope some of these programs help you out.
