I have checked out a few products that make the computer run faster after the free scan but then you have to pay for it later. Is there any products online that scan your PC for free where you don't have to pay to fix the errors? Would love to know-thanks in advance.

You should download Spyware Search and Destroy for your pc. Its a totally free program to use. Also you should not buy those computer programs that say they will increase your computer speed by like a 1000 because they are very bad for your pc in the long run and will indefinitely damage your computer. Like lets say steroids lol. They will help you for the first 2hourse then you will get messed up later, just like the way your computer will. Also i recommend downloading McCafee Virus control that is withouth a doubt the best virus control, but you will be charged, but its worth it.

ive used it for quite some time and have noticed fantastic results as far as keeping spyware and that off my computer. the company also makes Malware and virus removal tools as well.

Try CCleaner, its a great free tool.
www.ccleaner.com
Its great for cleaning up files, tweakin your system for the best speed and the best of all, helps you keep your privacy.
It also cleans your Registry if needed, and its adware free.
I use it regularly along with Hijack This to keep my lappie squeaky clean.

Here is where I found a link to download AVG for free. Its what I run on my computer along with spybot and adware. The combination keeps my computer running like a champ.

You should definitely check out the antivirus software AVG 8.0. It's free and I use it myself on my own pc. What kind of errors are you facing? Any particular error messages that you receive? Andrew
