[QUOTE="plat, post: 1038675, member: 74969"] I use HiBit for some file cleaning-very handy and rapid. Otherwise, I use Windows' built-in command-lines or manual. I avoid any ASUS software-- Armoury Crate, Tweak, etc. Phew, get that spyware AWAY away away... Edge browser doesn't see this desktop either. I tolerate Windows Defender because in the distant past, I would disable it and the next thing I know, the OS is gently sliding south. But I know from past experience, I don't need it, or any antivirus. Tried System Restore once long ago and it failed me. So never again. I'll use my USBs with an image or ISO--much more reliable. :cool::whistle: :coffee: [/QUOTE]
