Wise Care 365
http://www.filehippo.com/download_wise_care_365_free/ is an excellent program. I'm surprised that the user rating isn't 5 stars. I think the reason is because many of them haven't figured out that the key to making this program totally effective is to use CCleaner in place of the Privacy Protector tab section that is locked for free users which I'll explain later.
Along with Unchecky
http://unchecky.com/ and Driver Booster
http://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php (DO NOT INSTALL THE IOBIT STUFF. ONLY ENABLE DRIVER BOOSTER) this is the best program I've come across so far. My PC speed increased considerably.
Install Wise Care 365. Once installed, you should run it the first time in Safe Mode.
Open Wise Care 365. It should default to the PC Checkup tab. Click on Checkup in green. It will start scanning and after completion will display what needs to be fixed.
Click Fix. After completion it will give you a PC Health Index rating.
Then click on the System Cleaner tab. Under the Registry Cleaner heading to the left, run the scan and clean.
Then click the Common Cleaner heading to the left and run the scan and clean.
Then click the Advanced Cleaner heading to the left and run the scan and clean.
Then click the System Slimming heading to the left. Be careful what you enable in this heading and run the scan and clean/Slim Down.
Then click on the System Tuneup tab and select what you want. I selected all of them. Then Click Optimize. Since doing that, it won't allow me to do it again because it states: Congratulations! All the items have been optimized. So I don't remember what the terminology is after Optimize is clicked.
Click on the Registry Defrag heading to the left click Analyze.
Then click on the Start Manager heading to the left. You can chose what programs you want enabled on Startup of the PC. So far, it works well.
Click on the Privacy Protector tab. You will notice the clean button but it will not work unless you're using the paid version. Don't panic! There is way to fix that problem.
Exit Wise Care 365. Run CCleaner. VERY IMPORTANT! For CCleaner. If you you use Firefox (FF), make sure you uncheck everything concerning FF. It is located under the Applications tab. If you don't, it can break FF. This is stated on the FF Support site and I can verify this is true because some time ago I was having issues with FF until I found out about that via the FF Support site.
Under Windows tab, Click Analyze, after scan, Run Cleaner, OK.
Under Applications tab, (MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS UNCHECKED CONCERNING FF) Click Analyze. If it shows something other than 0 bytes to be removed, Run Cleaner, OK.
Click Registry on the left. Click Scan for issues. If Applicable, click Fix selected issues. You can choose whether to save or not. If anyone needs further help about using CCleaner, let me know.
Open Wise Care 365 and go over the steps again until you get a PC Checkup score of 10.0.
After that, go back into Windows and you should see a considerable difference in your system's speed.
BTW, I run Wise Care 365 several times a day, but not in Safe Mode, and only run the following:
1. PC Checkup
2. System Cleaner (Registry Cleaner only, not the others)
3. CCleaner
4. Rerun PC Checkup to see if I get 10.0. If so, that's it until the next time.
