[QUOTE="Soulbound, post: 903636, member: 33155"] Wise Dis Cleaner is a cleaner and defrag tool. Auslogics defrag is also a defrag tool Windows has its builtin defrag tool that works fine. When I did use Auslogics I didnt really notice much difference compared to piriform's defrag tool or even windows defrag tool (i do not use SSDs aside from one system, which on that system i do not have any 3rd party defrag tool) As for firewall, only on some occasions will a software not updated for awhile have issues with latest versions of windows. I myself am on 1909 so I have not come across any issues. Good alternatives are Simplewall and Tinywall. Windows Firewall Control is decent but I haven't tested since it became Malwarebytes. Another one is Windows 10 Firewall Control but I cant remember if you are very limited with the free version or not. For example: Unlocker 1.9 still works in windows 10 as confirmed by [USER=36043]@harlan4096[/USER] and myself. Malwarebytes is not an AV solution, its a companion av. If you choose not to run any AV solution, at least use Windows Defender. You can use the hardening tool if you feel you need a bit more of protection. [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] and [USER=85179]@security123[/USER] can give you more details. [/QUOTE]
