After a year (and forgetting to cancel my subscription) I'm finally off paid anti-virus. Sandboxie and the Windows security features already...
Just throwing it out there but my software has realtime, web shield, and a firewall. Though why bother if I already have Windows firewall built...
Go the paid route with realtime protection, or run a free program like Malwarebytes daily along with the scanner in windows and avoid the yearly cost?
Yeah guess I should be concerned. They added teamviewer also. I've asked my ma since she had service with them too.
Yup amazing the boot up time difference. Plus it looks like they added malwarebytes. :)
Turns out it was the coin battery that effected the startup. I also had service add the SSD drive. Boots right up in a fraction of the time.
Now a bios error. It will boot up, turn off, boot up, turn off several times before staying on and the bios setup appears. Asks for returning to...
Checked and they're all disabled during startup. Must have been when I turned off background apps.
I was going into msconfig and was looking at bootup times and decided against fiddling with that. It read if you change the times they could be...
Is a 4-5 year old computer worth it to put an SSD in it? Just wanted to make sure on that. Also can I remove these pre-installed games and xbox...
Internal SSD only?
I spend almost no time doing 1-5. I'm usually just surfing the net. Videos would almost always be YT.
I don't recall it ever having faster bootup times. It's always been 3-5 minutes. Even though I can sign in within a couple minutes I still have...
I haven't had time and probably won't till this weekend. Ccleaner is not pre-installed. Cleanmgr is.

It is NOT a refurbished computer. Just to make clear.
It's the pre-installed "cleanmgr."
I probably should have made that clear. My system is what I would call slow on boot up but good/acceptable after. I would say 5 minutes to boot...
Why does it matter if it's internal or an external SSD?
Ok done. It said there were corrupted files that were repaired. I haven't looked them up yet though at windir log. How often do you recommend...
About what size external SSD would you recommend for the average computer user?
Thankfully I haven't messed with anything. I think somewhere along the way I realized that I don't understand computers and adding or taking off...
No, I'll do that asap and get back to you. Thanks much.
Memory usage 36%, 4.3/11.9 gb Intel i5-7400 @ 3 ghz
I think though I can go back to background apps and probably turn them off individually w/o turning off all of them. I think it was the icon at...
