Thanks again Bob
Although I am aware & use of some of these utilities already, you provided some that I did not know.
Usually, I'm afraid of using 3rd party software utilities, I feel safer when they are recommended from people and/or websites I can trust, such as you, PC World & PC Mag. I use to subscribe to those mags and also Smart Computing, Computer Shopper, I miss them. Not many others I can still trust.
My favorite fixes are/were "Turn-Off & ReBoot" still do that and was "Scan Disk". I upgraded from MSDOS 5.0 to MSDOS-6.1 just to get Scan Disk. Seems like yesterday when we had to "PARK" our heads. Thank God for the 486DX & Xtree-Gold. Retained my sanity.

I downloaded Piriform Defraggler and ran the program. However I cannot find the icon for the program (in order to easily launch it in the future). Any suggestions on how to locate the lost icon ?

Bob thank you for all that your do, for your readers and faithful followers/fans. I look forward to all of your articles, knowing that they will benefit me or give me good insight about the topic. You are one in a million and I have been following you, since about 1997, when it was The Tourbus. Have a Happy New Year and looking forward to more good articles, from you. }:O)

I don't know how I missed this one, but I did. I have used many of the suggested programs by Bob, because I trust him. PrivaZer is one of the best out there. I bought the PrivaZer Pro because I was so impressed. I will admit that PrivaZer is not for everybody, especially Newbies. You must have a good understanding of computers to use Privazer. Bottom line, it is one excellent program!

I have used Piriform's Defraggler for some time now. It is slower but I think it really looks in all areas of the HD, to get it properly defragged. Love CCleaner! I have been using CCleaner for years and must have it. I also, purchased CCleaner Pro, so that I could easily monitor the Temporary Files after using my browser.

I am also a big fan of Glary Utilities. Used the free version for several years, finally purchased the PRO version a couple of years back. I like to use Glary Utilities PRO first, then use Defraggler to defrag and optimize. Defraggler works very well, by doing this method for me.

One program not mentioned is Revo Uninstaller. I simply can not live without this program. I even purchased the Pro version. I know when I uninstall a program that it is done completely. I used the free version for years, as well, before I purchased the Pro version.

Every program that I have mentioned, except for the Glary Utilities program, I have used because Bob recommended the programs. Bob does recommend Glary Utilities but I was using it before he "tested" the program. By the way, filepuma.com is a very safe site to download many of these programs and to keep them up to date. This is a Glarysoft website and it really is nice to know which websites are safe for downloading and updating programs.

I really like System Mechanic Pro because there are several Built In tools that Help Speed up my PC and it Cleans my Hard Drive of most if not ALL Virus and Malware and other Crap !!

I also use Glary Pro and Wise Care Pro

And Bitdefender Total Care Pro

Is there anything BETTER than what I am using to Protect and care fore my PC ??
