[QUOTE="TwinHeadedEagle, post: 432593, member: 6533"] I do not recommend usage of IOBIT products, they have bad reputation, and are prone to create problems. That is why I suggest to uninstall: - [b]Advanced SystemCare 8[/b] - [b]Driver Booster[/b] - [b]Game Booster[/b] - [b]IObit Malware Fighter[/b] - [b]IObit Uninstaller[/b] - [b]Smart Defrag 2[/b] - [b]Surfing Protection[/b] When you see a word "[b]Booster[/b]", "[b]Optimizer[/b]", "[b]TuneUp[/b]" or similar it is often some kind of silly application. You cannot "boost" you system more than it actually is. Microsoft optimized Windows perfectly and they are constantly working on improvements, so these tools are just selling you nothing but "fog". Only way to actually boost your system is to upgrade your hardware by adding SSD, more processor power or more ram memory.
