How do you baby your computer? - Page 2

Smacking it every time it does something stupid.

Which seems to happen a lot.

People seem to think I'm good with computers but they hate me just as much as I hate them.

Hah probably.

I was never really that good at math either...I understood everything and stuff but was always impatient on exams so I'd make stupid mistakes.

Also a pretty good driver. And I'm in veterinary medicine instead of human medicine.

I guess I'm the anti-Asian.

All of the above and my favorite:

SUPERAntispyware

I introduced it here at work and it gets rid of stuff that Malwarebytes sometimes can't.

I have a Mac. It babies me!

motomediafx · 10-20-2010, 07:14 PM

I just turn it on and roll. Have all Apple in the house. Never a virus, never any issues.

Kaspersky

Kaspersky is by far the BEST internet protection available to the public. Worth every penny!

I also run Ccleaner once in a while also...

Breast milk. Yeah, definitely, breast milk.

CCleaner
Microsoft Essentials
MalwareBytes

I got Avira also as an AV, but really unless you start downloading or going to some questionable sites, you really shouldn't be running into that many problems with your computer.

Lets see ... what do I have in my computers toolbox:

AdAware
Auslogics Defrag (it also optimizes the file location on the disk)
Diskkeeper (defragger that came with the laptop)
Fragdown (another defragger)
Malwarebytes
Norton (expired)
Panda Cloud anti-virus (current)
Spybot
SuperAntiSpyware

Yes ... I like defragging. I do it before and after I add or remove any large files on my computer. Once I even got it down to 0 fragments!

I used to have a registry cleaner but I don't think it really did anything useful so I got rid of it. And I also have PageDefrag for my virtual ram, but now that its all in one big chunk I don't use it anymore.
