jamescv7 until now i am happy with CCleaner but just wanted to try something else.Since i encountered these problems i will stick with CCleaner which definitely does a good job.
Thanks for your opinion

Tonibalas' Laptop config
- Thread starter tonibalas
- Start date
I've been using it for 2 weeks and it's feels so amazing.I don't know if can mention this here,but.....
Majorgeeks had some sweet giveaways during the Christmas season and one of them was a fully activated Wise Care 365 Pro.As long as you don't update it,you have access to all of the functions + all of the added features....
^This one is installed on my home PC.I managed to create a portable version and have that on my USB stick....Been cleaning out corporate and home PC's left and right with the thing.
Is there a way we can share the file? I could send it to you,so you could try out.Maybe an FTP of sorts?

I think it's ok but i am considering adding LastPass ,MBAM Free and maybe another backup program like Aomei One Key.
I will decide next week
I did not knew LastPass and has happened to me as SlimJet , which has been a real find.Thanks.
I have on my computer w7 , Voyager , and Manjaro Elementary Os in each system a minimum of 2 browsers, LastPass for me is a tool not only safe , if not very handy,is in all my browsers , why ?, you configure it only one time and you fit all browsers.
Try it for free , and you can see that it is very comfortable.
Greetings friend
Thanks Sr. Normal i was using LastPass in Windows 7 i just haven't installed it in Windows 8.1 browsers, i am going to add it next week.
Thanks for the reminder
Thanks for the reminder
All Aomei software is great and very reliable.I think it's ok but i am considering adding LastPass ,MBAM Free and maybe another backup program like Aomei One Key.

After a long time i updated my config.
The last few days i tried some programs that other members recommend.
I installed Sumatra PDF, MS Office 2007 (on external HDD), MBAM, VLC Media Player and uBlock.
The one i installed and find very useful is Shadow Defender. Very good security software and also very light on my old laptop.
Other programs that i tried but in the end were uninstalled are:
MBAE: offers a good level of security but i experienced browsing slowdown
Citrio browser: heavy on system, my fan was working overtime, it had 8 services running but i was only watching MT
7 Star browser: much lighter than Citrio but Emsisoft AM gave me 5 alerts (2 or 3 where red) when i was installing it
EagleGet Download manager: it doesn't work on Cyberfox x64. I even did uninstall-reinstall but again it didn't work
but it does work on IE 11. In the end i rarely use IE so i don't need EagleGet.
The last thing i want to tell you is that in February i did an upgrade on my laptop.
I installed Samsung SSD 850 EVO 120 GB. Now Windows open in about 10-15 seconds and my laptop is as good as a new one
The old HDD i kept it as an external HDD

Shadow Defender is great isn't it, i would like to try a SSD one day as you make it sound very good and fast.After a long time i updated my config.

@frogboy yes Shadow Defender is great not only as a security program to protect from malware
but it's good also for testing other software
When i tried Citrio and 7 Star i had Shadow mode enabled so when i decided that i don't want them i did a restart and Shadow Defender
took care of them and it didn't left any trace, that is just great.
As for the SSD if you have the money go for it. My laptop is 6 1/2 years old and it works great,
i dare to say better even from the first day.
As you read i can surf in the internet in under 20 seconds
With Windows 7 and the old HDD i was waiting 45 seconds and more for the laptop to open.
p.s.: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 120 GB has 5 years warranty i think that is also great
but it's good also for testing other software

I am glad you like it guys and i am opened to suggestions to improve it even more
Update
Removed: Emsisoft AM. My wife had browsing slowdown with AVG IS so i removed it and installed in her pc Emsisoft AM
Bye bye Emsisoft. After a tweaking her pc is running smooth.
Also removed uBlock
Added: Kaspersky AV. So far it's running smooth, no browsing slowdown and the boot is very quick about the same
with Emsisoft. Full scan was quick less than 9 minutes.
Also added Adguard add-on on Cyberfox. I like it it's light
p.s.: I wanted for years to try Kaspersky but when i was heaving W7 always something was going wrong and couldn't
operate the way it was supposed to do.
So now i am very happy that i can use it.
Kaspersky was the only AV i haven't used from the more known security companies all this years.
I hope it will perform well

It is good it is all going well for now, i am pleased as i have never tried Kaspersky before so an update on your experience in a few weeks would be nice.
