Blog Last Activity 11 years ago 540 views 9 comments
FREE TOOLS, UTILITIES, and PROGRAMS {That actually work}:
1. REVO UNINSTALLER: Completely removes those games, programs, etc you've downloaded but no longer want (I recommend ALWAYS using Advanced Mode, and I always delete ALL files Revo finds).
2. ADVANCED SYSTEM CARE 5 (FREE) Designed for Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, XP and 2000 (http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html) Advanced SystemCare Free (formerly Advanced WindowsCare Personal) has a one-click approach to help protect, repair, clean, and optimize your PC. With over 100 MILLION downloads since 2006, this fantastic, award-winning, free PC repair software is a "must-have" tool for your computer. 100% safe with no adware, spyware, or viruses; a PC maintenance program that's incredibly easy to use.
3. AVIRA 'Free Edition' ANTIVIRUS: Catches and removes far more viruses, malware, rootkits, etc. than all other 'Free' antivirus programs (and many of the paid programs). [Has daily pop-ups, but the higher level of protection makes it well worth the minor annoyance].
4. SUPERANTISPYWARE Free Edition.: Malware Defense. Works with Avira. Protects you from Trojans, Malware, Spyware, Rootkits, and more.

DO NOT KEEP MORE THAN ONE ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM ON YOUR COMPUTER!! If you do, neither will be fully functional, you WILL get VIRUSES, and your computer MAY become DAMAGED!!

DAILY MAINTENANCE:
A. Clear Recent Activity-
In FIREFOX: Click 'Tools', 'Clear Recent History', 'Today', (select all items, especially 'Cache'; Click 'Clear Now'.
In INTERNET EXPLORER: Click 'Tools', 'Delete Browsing History', (select everything except 'Form Data' and 'Passwords', Click 'Delete'.
B. Run ADVANCED SYSTEM CARE 5: Click 'QUICK CARE', Click 'SCAN NOW', Click 'REPAIR NOW'. {will try to get you to upgrade (Buy) from time to time, but will ALWAYS remain FULLY FUNCTIONAL for FREE.

These tools and steps will:
Protect Your Computer.
Speed Up Your Computer.
Help Protect Your Privacy (Others won't be able to see pages you visited, pictures you looked at, etc).

Hope you find this helpful,
David (Bi4life).

@stevedinlo: An IP address identifies your internet provider, which computer or device you are using, and where your device is located. Re: email address access (varies widely by site and by preferences which you may or may not have set). D.
