Software We Recommend:
- Windows Security Center – this highly rated anti-virus is built into Windows 10 and above and uses low resources, which makes this ideal for most users. It also scans and updates automatically in the background, so you don’t need to do anything.
- Unchecky – Tired of unchecking unrelated offers while installing software? This program automatically helps to ‘uncheck’ most of these boxes for you.
Other Free Software That Can Keep Your Computer Running Better
Maintain your system’s performance by downloading and running regularly MalwareBytes (Anti-Malware) and CCleaner (Registry Optimization and System Cleaner). By running these free software programs a couple of times a month, you’ll be able to prevent most performance problems from occurring.
NOTE: The noted software are great products, but they have pop-ups, ask you to pay for premium service, and require special settings so we no longer install these but still use them extensively.
