Hb_Kai Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I recently downloaded this to clear the stuff muffling up my RAM because it's not so good on this laptop and I personally think it is quite a pretty neat tool to have on your PC.It's a bit of MS CONFIG but more powerful, doesn't have all the options like MS CONFIG does like the boot.ini files options and stuff but it does the same near enough and more.It tells you what cookies you have stored, what programs run on start-up, what software/programs are running in the background, scheduled tasks, services and more.WinPatrol 2008Oh, it's freeware too but there is a Premium version available. But it's still quite good - the free version that is. Ain't paying for it to find out what's better. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamb Chop Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I already have it and love its easy to use features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoPro Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I have it and highly recommend it. Not only does it free up RAM, it also gets rid of dangerous malware that launches at startup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've used it for a few years now & found it an excellent first line of defence against unasked for alterations to the system and unauthorised start-ups, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes if you download the wrong thing from the wrong mirror then it'll be full with spyware, but not really all the time. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
