Oh man I feel bad for the guy on the comment section that is asking something about his laptop. This guy "billmullins", it is obvious that he doesn't know what's he's talking about if he's recommending these programs... All of them suck.

CCleaner is the only one worth checking; <---- I been using it for years, the others? meh

Lol, "there may be numerous reason why"!!

Yeah, a PC user that does not know what they are doing!

ThanatosDMC6345d ago

I completely agree, those people that just keep click yes on their firewalls and clicking whatever it is on the internet.

If all things go to crap, reinstall the OS but backup all the important stuff.

"advanced system care"

does everything and more.

and it's free!

there are a lot of background prossesses that are not neccesasary and these programs come in handy, so by your theory every time our PC is slow we should just re-install the OS?

FinalFantasyFanatic6345d ago

Generally I like to do it every year or every second year if I'm not too lazy. But as far as background processes go, I have 36 running on average but I've noticed people like to have a bijillion programs load at start up and then they complain the computer is too slow. Not only that but I've seen some crazy people try to run Vista on only 512mbs of RAM.

I just tested all the free applications on offer and I am very impressed.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing55d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit55d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing55d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9255d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
