Recomendations for general utility for defrag, virus scanner, registry fixer
I have been using System Suite (now from VCom) for the past 5 years, but they have made some changes in V7 I don't like, but still haven't fixed issues from years ago. I'm looking for a replacement for at least these tasks;
1. Defrag program, 2. Virus scanner, 3. Registry repair, 4. Disc repair Those are my main uses. The Virus definations/updates should be included with free updates (as with System Suite from TrendMicro), not like Norton where you have to pay a yearly sub fee. I have seen/used PC Mechanic (I believe that was the name) and that was really lame. Way too simple and ineffective especially for the defrag program. I would perfer one program instead of one for each task. And one that isn't bloated as in Norton. Suggestions?? |

I don't like any of the suites.
1. Diskeeper Lite or Diskeeper Pro. Pro is really good but it's not free, Lite is free. 2. AVG Free 3. CCleaner 4. Windows chkdsk. Spinrite if you have a really nasty disk. |
