Both my PC and lap top are running slow I think it is because I have loads of programs etc on them. Can I get a list of ones that have not been used for a long time and remove them. I know I can go through the list on Control Panel but I am scared that by removing something I may accidentally remove something that is essential to another used program. Any help would be appreciated many thanks

Nobody able to offer any advice?

Start by running a defrag. Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Defrag drive. That should aid it a little. Is that didn't work then get rid of your current anti virus and download NOD32 or Vipre. Both McAffee and Norton are resource drains now.

Using the remove software tool in the control panel, will tell u how often the software is used and when used last.

The other option is to use some form of clean up software, that removes temp files and cookies.

Many thanks for that. I have Norton 360 so perhaps that is slowing it down.

Get rid. It's like a plague!

NOD32 is highly rated. I'm using Vipre, and have had no issues with it, and it has quite a few useful tools with it as well. Some you'll never use, but some will come in handy.

AVG isn't bad either. The big 2 are now so resource hungry that they are going to kill themselves.

Not true nowadays - Norton has been fine for at least a couple of years, although it seems to be having trouble getting rid of its (previously deserved) bad reputation.

I use Avast free antivirus and Emunnet Cloud free with a personal software inspection program which lets you know what exploit are on ya pc/laptop and what program's need updating.... Never had a virus since i been using them for about 3 years.
