Hi all..... Friend will be giving me his laptop tomorrow to fix up. To clean up. For starters I am going to scan and clean it up with malware bytes.
What other free programs are good to run on a slow, sludgy, messed up laptop?
I am not asking for any diagnosis. Just what programs you have used to do a house cleaning on WINDOWS SEVEN computers that family and friends have thrust upon you
BTW in these type of cases, first thing they do after buying the desktop/laptop is to be sure to chuck all restore DVDs in the trash. lol lol lol happens every time
Thanks!!
Thanks, I think I will go that way.
I noticed that a new in sealed pack version of Windows 7 can be had for around $50.
Mark for later.
See #55

YES!
= 97%
Whoops.
What should I down load?
McAfee has expired.
This is a new laptop and I need a new FREE virus stopper?
The Microsoft antivirus programs for windows 7 and 8 are what I use. I think they are automatically loaded onto a windows 8 computer. But for windows 7 computer you go on the internet to download and install.
Windows Defender AKA Microsoft Security Essentials

If you have windows 8 you might have and be using Microsoft Security Essentials and don’t realize it.
Thanks so much, awesome you.
You’re right. It’s already installed in my Windows 8.1.
