Q: I just got in on the Hot Deals u0026quot; u0026quot, NSW 2001 Professional Edition for $ 18 (now $ 15) and it seems like a really nice set of useful programs.
However, I find it leaves a lot of monitoring software in the start-up menu (System Doctor, Anti-Virus, etc., etc.). Apart from the Anti-Virus, what is really needed and what is bloat?
Best Answer: run awc awc personal free edition
Re:It has Speed disk, System, Win and Disk Doctor, along with the registry tracker and editors, AntiVirus, Clean Sweep, Ghost and WinFax and tons of diagnostics.
Re:does this cd have speeddisk on it?
Re:Thank-you for the tips.
Yes, it was an awesome deal (and it's still going on for $15). I found quite a few of the utilities pretty helpful and rather useful but to leave everything running in startup took at least 10% of system resources.
Re:I leave NAV and internet security on.. Thats all.. Everything else is a resource hog.
Re:AV 24/7 or suffer the consequences!!! I'm always installing stuff, so I leave the CleanSweep stuff on, but it's not necessary. Only other thing I have is the System Doctor and that's only showing CPU usage. (Some progs hang secretly and I can spot it when it hits 100% for no reason. It crashes a lot though, so I may ditch it.)
I got it on the Hot Deal too. Pro for $20! Schweet!!!
Re:I dont leave any of it in start-up. I use them only when needed.
