Just because he asked doesn't mean there's software that exists that works. The only tool I find has any real effect (and only for certain conditions) is a defrag tool. Beyond that, as I said, No "utility software" I've seen does more to help than it does to hurt.

Now, there are some tweaks you can do to improve performance - note the above link at the bottom of the list of programs, there's the "Black Viper's Services Tweaks" that improve BOOT performance by about 4%. But nothing you do is going to make you go "wow, that was fantastic" - at best, you'll have an extra minute or two at the end of the day. And that's AT BEST.

yes i have already cleared temp files, removed unwanted programs from msconfig too. I need more suggestions on whether or not Avastpro is better, I have come across some more antivirus which other members have recommended, so i need someone to support this fact.
nortons and mcaffee require a lot from you of system resources. most of the time when you try to uninstall it breaks the registry because of the foot print in your registry.
