You should consider me an expert. Get rid of IObit, or at least you shouldnt have paid for it. Ccleaner is a freeware program that does this job, should be used about twice a year or when there is a new software installation problem.
Firefox 4 is great but uses more memory than FF 3.6 for alot of open tabs.
No problem, especially since shutdown and restart...lowers the memory useage, occurs quickly in about 60 seconds. However, FF has problems on an XP machine at least, when memory usage is in the 600-700mb range, necessitating restart before it starts acting up. An addon called ‘memory restart’ is an easy but inaccurate way of monitoring the memory useage of the browser from within the browser.
If you use your computer for any banking or shopping online with a credit card,etc. You need an ‘Internet Security Suite’....Kaspersky is highly recommended and money well spent. An Internet Security Suite monitors incoming and outgoing internet traffic to keep you from getting that virus,trojan to begin with. Kaspersky Internet Security also contains a regular anti-virus scanner. So the two strategies contained in one program keep you virus-free most of the time. An Anti-virus scanner program alone tends to leave you with a false sense of security and unknown infectins capture your credit card/logon details before you know that the virus is on your machine.
I will def check out Internet Sec Suite who is that by? not NORTON or McAfee I hope. Good advice you have given me. i did delete that IObit free version
I would like to thank everyone who responded to my thread I have gained some knowledge with all of your opinions and all of them have been welcome.
