What is the best utility for system maintenance. I have XP Home Edition.

xp has everything you need built into it

Yeah, don't be fooled by those packaged utilities that claim they can keep your system running in tip-top condition...you don't need them. Some will even make your computer run slower (if you install the whole package and let everything run in background).

Scandisk and the Windows' defragmenter is all you really need.

And a good updated version of an antivirus and a good updated version of a spyware scanner!

Yea I just use those utilities mentioned in this thread so far plus 'window washer' as it cleans out a lot more junk than disk cleanup..
