How-To Geek

You have no need for anything else but what you already have, er... had before this. There is no security software that you need that cannot be obtained free for the normal user. You had all the necessary good ones.

And they are not geekettes, they are amageeks.

Mixing too many security programs is detrimental to the system particularly those that act in real time.

Gismo's freeware likes it, his opinion is often pretty good. I see it's 113 MB's, seems a little big.

It actually can hurt to try. Xhi is right.

Ditto.

I second GS about Advanced Systemcare. Awful it is.

I tried AVG. I hated it.
I tried Avast. I liked it.
I tried MSE. I think it's ok.
I use CCleaner, Spybot, MalwareBytes and the likes; it's great.
etc etc etc.

Now a new product comes to my attention. I want to try it. I ask for an opinion, I get answers not related to the topic.

When people ask for my help, I try to answer as best as I can.
So far the only acceptable answer was from whiplash55.

warlock, nothing to fix. I'm just curious and I like to try new things.

On a side note, I run a very tight ship around my pc (monitoring processes, using firefox with protection addons when visiting questionable sites, disabling unnecessary services - those installed by softwares - no longer tweaking Windows services [back when having 256mb ram was awesome yeah I would tweak Windows services but now, with and i7 8gb ram and crossfire 6850's, I don't need the extra 27mb - and the trouble that it may cause]).
Because of that I consider myself an advanced/power user. And because of that I've successfully fixed every issue I've ever ran into.

Also, your advice on Advanced Systemcare makes me curious. I've never had any trouble with it. I only run it on-demand to clean temp/junk files and defrag my secondary drives.
Although I don't always understand or agree with some advice I see you guys giving to other people I do respect your opinion and knowledge.
Please let me know why it is bad. I'll be more than happy to learn more.

Thanks

N.B. So far Emsisoft Anti-Malware does a good job. I've got nothing bad to say against it, expect that it takes 14 seconds to start (out of a 25 seconds Windows boot). Though I did not take the time to put it to test thoroughly.

I Forgot. I do tweak a few Windows services for SSD-related stuff. Also disabling search (I know where to find things by myself thank you), indexing and tweaking pagefile...

Hi afuhnk.

How do those 6850s run in Crossfire ??

You have um O/Ced ??

afuknk, we have very similar setups except for 2600K and only one 6850.

I've got to order some parts and just wondering if a second 6850 would be good.

They are inactive now but probably could still find one more.

New hardware will be available in a couple months so this Build will go to charity.

Not sure if I want to invest anymore into it.

Thanks for sharing,
