Think of the UBCD as a single compiled source of the most commonly used programs for testing. Rather than maintaining a file/cd/floppy of each hard drive makers set up/diagnostic software, you have them all on one, easy to carry cd. Another example, memory testing. The UBCD contains several programs suitable to test memory but most folks develop a liking for one particular program. Personally, I prefer Memtest86+. Using the UBCD allows me to insert one CD in the drive to access all my test programs without having to change disks or shuffle thru a pile of floppy disks. Those are just two examples. The UBCD has many apps for other functions too.

There is no all in one solution.It's like buying a rack stereo system.Your not getting the best of all the components.

I use

Tune-up Utilities 2008
JV 16 powertools
ccleaner

These are a great combination.


I choose many anti-spyware programs,but like SuperAntiSpyware,Spybot,Spwareblaster,and Peerguardian.

Thumbs up to the ultimate boot cd! I also like Hirens Boot.

My system is always clean of errors,and runs smooth.I could get into defrag,but this was not the subject.

I use:

Avast antivirus
Zonealarm firewall
Malwarebytes AntiMalware
Tuneup Utilties

they all do an excellent job for me.

Hi Guys!
just want to share something that's helpful, hope it will be a help to you peps here.....

Your PC can freeze after startup for any number of reasons. A virus could have found its way onto your computer somehow. This can happen when you open a tainted email or download something from the internet that contains a virus. Your computer’s memory could be overloaded also or your registry may need a spring cleaning.

Is it OK to install Spybot Search and Destroy 1.3 when I already have Adaware Personal Edition and Mcaffee anti-virus plus on my machine?
