how can fast system in widows7

1. i suspicious of malware, run adwcleaner , have antivirus program https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

2. i remove programs claim make computer run better, safer or faster.  vast majority of these in fact malware

3. i remove , "protection" software on computer , leave 1 high quality antivirus product -- more below...

4. i using hard drive manufacturer's drive testing program ensure not failing

5. i want none of hard drives more 75% in use

6. i check memory using windows 7's memory checker

7. i install , run autoruns check see in start process

8. and, importantly, take close @ applications installed.  of them notorious resource pigs insist on running on startup.

9. i remove programs/applications from startup unless need them startup

   common miscreants cause slow start ups:

• roxio anything

• skype

• utorrent

• frostwire

• trusteer

• dropbox

• onenote

• evernote

• all apple products

which antivirus product choose?

the “security” software installed on computer may causing problems can not diagnosed or fixed.  try removing temporarily.

this controversial topic, choice of av software may want take 2nd at.  suggest visit web site sense of av software best job, depending on kind of user are:   http://www.av-comparatives.org/   non-profit has been around long time , trust results.   latest report:  https://www.av-comparatives.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/avc_prot_2016b_en.pdf

when interpret these results, keep in mind difference between product detects 95% , 99% of infections, 5 times more allow infection.

i speaking great deal of experience.  support 150 client computers.  have been doing 14 years.  clients never have infections.

the only products use or recommend antivirus-only products.  product called complete protection, internet security or deems comprehensive security product prohibited on client computers.

i have reason this. on years , hundreds of pcs, i’ve learned lesson well.  difficult diagnose , fix problem(s) when components of internet security product actively working prevent diagnosis.  software sees technician (me in case) threat.  discovered if uninstalled software, able more and quickly discover fix problem.  antivirus products not behave this.

the other components in these products (other av itself) cause more problems benefit bring , work shutting down windows component job of particular task anyway.

it antivirus software need.  all that need windows 7.

most of big name suppliers prefer sell all-in products because can sell them higher price.  not offer antivirus product.  push in ones , still sell av product, may have them.  there @ least 1 , either best or close it.

beware of products try actively engage in security process asking permission run program named xd43_45d*.exe, or like.

do not use product claims make computer run better.  virtually of them either bogus, infection, or put computer @ risk. remove claims there prevent infections or claims make computer run better, singular exception of 1 antivirus product.

note well.  should never have more 1 protection product installed.  ensure remove , protection software packages before installing new one.  includes software may have come pre-installed on computer when new.  products conflict 1 another, causing yet more problems.

you cannot remove av software using standard windows 7 uninstall tool.  of majors publish “removal tool” gets rest of it.  if not remove it, cause hard understand , diagnose problems.
