How to tune up my computer?

Question

I have Spyware stormer that takes out all of the adware and spyware, but what else can I do to speed up my computer?  Is Error Guard a good thing to use or should I use something else?

Hi:

You should be aware that a reputable anti-spyware site has listed Spyware Stormer

as a suspect "rogue" program that engages in aggressive advertising, and may in fact

add spyware to your system. For details, see here: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#products

and scroll down the list to Spware stormer.

All the freeware programs listed below (with links) are endorsed by reputable anti-spyware

websites. In particular I would recommend that at a minumum you download, keep updated,

and run on a regular basis, the programs Ad-aware SE and Spybot S&D.

EDIT: A good tutorial on these 2 programs by a forum regular, ChrisRLG, can be viewed at:

The first link in my signature should help (no extra tools needed). All the Best! P.S. Before installing Error Guard (just like any other software), make sure it has no spyware.
