Thread: What are your favorite Windows PC maintenance utilities?

CWShredder and experience......

Just Avast for antivirus.

Nothing else as my XP Pro/Vista/Win7 triple boot machine just works!

RegistryFix, It's the only registry tool that I've ever used that actually made a noticeable difference to the performance of my 'puta.

I use a couple of tricks.

del *.*
Format c:

If these fail then 1 glass of water in the vent cools it down and stops the virus malware from spreading.

I hope that's what you're using for prevention.

In terms of virus protection I use:

ClamWin (Free Antivirus for Windows - Open source GPL virus scanner) which is based on the ClamAV engine (Clam AntiVirus).

If I am going to dodgy internet sites or executing programs I expect may be infected I just run them in:
VMWare Server (VMware Server, Free VMware Download for Virtual Server Consolidation).

The best thing about the above solutions is that they are all open source.
But an even better solution is

LINUX (or Solaris, or Mac OSX, or BSD, or HP-UX, or AIX, or IRIX, or VMS, or OS2), but for God's sake just not any M$ OS.

Took longer than I thought,,,
