Free up space on your computer

[Mike F]

A friend told me about a free site to clean up deleted files and cookies. I tried it on my work computer and it is twice as fast as what it was. I did not lose any passwords or documents.

I haven't looked at the link you provided yet. How is it different than emptying the trash can and deleting cookies through the browser?

I could definitely use more speed but I'm always leery of free stuff on the internet.

I'm not the smartest when it comes to computers but apparently when you empty trash or delete something it's still on your computer. This program gets rid of it. Free's up space on your hard drive. I tried it and noticed a huge difference. My buddies tell me they do it every week.

At first I was hesitant and thought it was some kind of gimmick wanting money. They do ask for a donation but you do not have to give.

That's why I was asking, I'm in the same boat. I use a few programs I'm familiar with, no problem, but once the conversation turns to geekspeak (or anything even close) I get lost pretty quick.

Anyone else care to chime in on this? Remember, keep it simple, I'm a computard.

I know my hard drive is loaded with trash and its slowing down my computer. But.....I'm not sure I want some web site all up in my hard drive removing things. Just because it didn't delete your passwords, photos, programs, ect doesn't mean they didn't make copies for their personal viewing.

Check out this free version of Advanced System Care. I started with the free version, but a month later I went to the paid version. The paid version does the maintenance routine automatically.

This does a lot more than clean up your hard drive. The registry cleaner function will put some speed back in your system. I've used this product for 6 months now. Before this product I had two others. This one is the best I have found. BTW I have no connection to the company other than as a happy customer.

Yeah, that stevengould site looks really shady. Get ready to cancel all your credit cards, Mike.

You want bullet proof operation, none of the problems stated above? Buy a MAC, you'll never go back. No registry, no virus, no problem. Have a 3yr MacBook Pro............Replaced a battery...........FREE. Never a problem with the OS, a few issues with Microsoft apps, but hey, what do you expect from MS?

Great tech support by people that know the Mac OS, and as a big bonus............THEY SPEAK ENGLISH....REAL ENGLISH.

+1 for the MacBook Pro. They are expensive and the OS is different than most are used to, but once you try one, you will never go back. It doesn't take long to get the hang of it either. I have heard of plenty of people going from PC to mac, but you don't hear of many going mac to PC.

I downloaded it earier this week. So far, so good! It even caught spy-ware that "McAffee" apparently can't recognise.
