Anyone have any suggestions for a cleaner to use on a desktop type computer? The past month our machine has started to really slow down and run like crap. We've even had a few blue screen shut down errors though these have all come after I installed a new photo printer and have since uninstalled it. I've looked at a few online freebies but am hesitant to try anything until I've heard good/bad comments on anything out there.
The main problem is that the internet has started to really really drag butt and as far as I know my Mozilla and Internet Explorer are both up to date, the only things that are not are some of the flash type players from what I can see. I run AVG anti virus and MacAfee virus but they're only free versions and are not turning up anything out of the norm. I have deleted some larger programs as of late so am wondering if it's time to defrag the system, though I've had issues with that in the past.
Some of my wifes co workers suggested a PC cleaner so here we are. Any suggestions are welcome so long as you don't say "get a Mac", that will never happen. If I can put off calling Dell and having to talk to Apu the Quickee Mart owner I will appreciate it.
Oh yeah, the machine is maybe 3 or 4 years old and these are the first real problems we've had. I could call Qwest and talk to someone on their end too I suppose as it's internet related.
Again, any suggestions?
