Techno | Clear Your Gunk!
Came across an article in the Straits Times' Digital Life section on the recommended program downloads that will clear up lots... I mean lots of junk that reside in all parts of your harddisk.
What is great about it is that these are all free downloads.
Yes, free downloads are quite dangerous and very untrustworthy.
They harbour spyware, while some are malicious hiding identity-theft program, stealing your personal data, and some are just those darn embedded virus files that just make people's life hell when infected.
No, these download-ables are not malicious at all.
In fact these are from trusted sources that I swear by it. The most important of these are:
Anti-Virus Program: AVG Free Edition by Grisoft
- Link: http://free.grisoft.com
- Link: www.lavasoftusa.com
Those in the US are so fortunate to try out for free, and eventually fall in love with the ease of use and complete protection of WindowsLive OneCare. Subscribing it with a small annual fee of USD19.90 to protect your computer.
I downloaded it and tried it with great ease of use and great ease of mind that my PC was not vulnerable to either virus or spyware. Deleting unwanted junk was a button-press away.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has not extended its support worldwide yet and I had to uninstall it when it expired 90 days later. In replacement, the above free websites offer the programs for full protection for your computer free.
These are legitimate gunk removers.
No worries, I do not get commissions. I am using them and my PC almost flies like new again!

Hi Imran,
I have used some of these programs and they do work.
I am having an Anniversary Party on Friday, August 18. I hope that you will be able to join us and make a post about the FFMB for the occasion :)

Hello Everyone!
Glad to receive all of you here.
Andrew | Thank you for the well wishes. Yes, I turned 40 end June 2006. Sigh.
Yes, I have joined the Old People Club when I started to hear my knees crackling every time I try to squat down. Sigh.
Have you looked at the various programs I mentioned? What do you think of them?
Carol | I was glad I joined in and came to the party. It was great! Thank you for FFMB. Eternally grateful.
I just have to express my gratitude to you in my comment in the FFMB Anniversary post.
Barbara | I have been using Ad-aware for some time and stopped when I used WindowsLive OneCare. Since it expired, I had to use 3 separate programs to keep my PC healthy and efficient.
Have you tried EasyClean yet?
If not, you should, because it really speeds up your PC when you can actually access and delete the redundant files and registries we are unaware of, that is hogging our PC operation.
I have done on all the 3 PCs we have at home - Mine, Wify's and Son's.
Free and effective! My kind of world.
