Best programs for a good running pc and are free the first two get all the add ware when you use them one at a time. They caught a key logger first time I used them. The last one on the list is my favorite cleans all the junk files and a whole lot more .This and yahoo security suit are all I use to keep my pc happy.

You also need to use Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Professional edition it will comprehensively scan your memory, registry, hard, removable and optical drives for known Data-mining, aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware, selected Keyloggers, selected traditional Trojans, Dialers, Malware, Browser hijackers, and tracking components.The cool thing about Ad-aware is that once you buy it it updates for free. If you have windows xp Microsoft also has a free download i like to use called window defender its like task manager on steroids.

Do a defrag at least once a week.
On these sites are various sites in the DOWNLOAD sections to help clean the computer.
