    What are your favorite Windows PC maintenance utilities?

    After a few of us managed to hijack Lewy's Word 2007 thread.. I thought I'd pose the question...

    What are your favorite windows PC maintenance utilities ? - registry mainenance.. anti spyware etc..


    I just know this will bring all the Linux and MAC evangelists out to play...

    I use all three - so have no intention on starting a battle of the OSes...

    But the fact is the majority of users on this forum will be Windows users - right Inc?

    I thought there will be some of those users who could benefit from some of the great free tools out there..


    What tools do you use to keep your PC running sweet?

    I use both CCleaner and Glary Utilities as each has different search parameters to do the same basic job.

    However if it was only to be one then it would be Glary Utilities

    I don't want to jump up and shout MAC or LINUX but......I have windoze on 2 home laptops and 2 work desktops and a work laptop. I'm just very careful what I do with it. "nurse it through" so to speak.

    If I need to download things that might even have the slightest chance of being dodgy I jump on the Red Hat box.

    I am Red Hat certified and it is my job, I look after all the red hat at StarCity and will be taking over the Keno too once the License comes through but these machines come with windows and they work so I use them. I play about far too much at work to be bothered re building my home machines, and I'm not allowed to re-build the work ones. (corporate orders)

    At home - Me...fortified by beer, red wine, white wine, the occasional Bundy and a Linux box
    At work - Me...fortified by coffee, swearing and lots of linux boxes



    SWMBO said she reboots, failing that she calls me.
