Interested in hearing what you guys keep on your computers to keep it running smoothly.It seems many of you believe that one does really need any system repairs/clean ups of any type. I have ccleaner, malwarebytes and mcafee.
Personal opinion ONLY.
I am not suggesting my setup is the best in this galaxy. It just works for me on my 2 laptops.
I use Win 10's own Windows Defender as my real-time protection.
Malwarebytes, free edition, as my on-demand protection.
CCleaner to do disk cleanup.
Auslogics, free edition, to do disk defrag.
No snake-oiled garbage.
For 2+ years I have no issues, security or performance.
McAfee ? Why pay for it while there are many comparable programs that are free ?
Yeah, we had some conversation about that with davidhk a while back: SSD worth it?
As far as OT, yeah, I tried System Mechanic some years back and, after a few months, ended up stuffing it into the snake oil compartment.
A non-necessary proggie. You dont need it.
