I got a score of 89, but could have done better if I had a Pc Optimizer ( what ever that is ) I dont have a program that backs up my system. Any Ideas ??

the tool is a good guide but i have pc op pro and for some reason it does not pick it up iam not sure way
as for backing up your system you could use windows and back up to a spare drive if its big enoff just depends
i have the choice to use nero as well maybe a word our two from the experts on the best way to do it if there is one

Let's hope Pop's reads this post, maybe he has some ideas ??

Not necessarily, john.

I have 2 online spyware detectors (Spybot and Superantispyware), and it detected neither of them.

I have now deleted the program.

its not perfect but ive been running it for two monthes and it helped me keep on top as things as i dont set most of my programs to autoupdate
as i dont wont my desktop clogged up
the reason i do this iam not able to be online every day and the bloody updates come all at ounce a bit of a pain sometimes
so if i dont do it the score drops which is way it works for me
ps hows life in the boonies

jackspratt my aol monitor picks up spybot which i use and my score is 90 maybe its just the right combo not sure but heres the link ps its free not the best but my pc is running sweet as

Thanks john.

I am happy that I have the latest version of Spybot loaded, as well as Superantispyware.

But I am also not particularly interested in the AOL product - I downloaded it out of curiosity, but can live without it full time.

Already enough crap running in the background of my PC

Weird,I just paid $70 for the Uniblue power suite package,ran all the programs and got the same score of 73 3 times.Glad it has a 30 day money back guarantee!

dont think this works to well with vista it couldnt see some of the programs already installed and tried to tell me to turn on things already on

does anybody know of a better tool along these lines that may work better with vista and if you have any usefull programs you would like to share pm me and i will do the same regards john
