I normally do not watch TV during day time. I turned on and there came an ad "Mycleanpc.com". It says the performance of the computer can be improved by downloading it and fixing issues. We have to buy it at $39.95 or so. What is the experience of mylot members in this regard. Will this tool help improve the performance of computer?
Now I use a free version of glary utilities. It says that is fixing issues in fraction of a second. Will this alone do or mycleanpc.com can help improve the performance of computer.

There are two options, the performance and quality of the computer. If we choose the performance, we can reduce the quality. If we choose the quality, then we have to sacrifice performance.
I prefer to increase computer performance, streamline work by the OS, without any other software. Like, disabling features graphics and effects are not needed, some services, startup programs, taskbar, etc..
Additionally, do cleandisk and defrag regularly.

MyCleanPC is generally reckoned to be a very expensive (for what it is) scam. It also uses aggressive techniques to scare the unwary user into buying it and other software.
Everything that it does can be done just as effectively using a few simple and free tools. Many of these are already installed with Windows but there are easier to use ones available free.
CCleaner from Piriform is a tool which clears out the temporary data and files which accumulate naturally. You can select exactly what you do and don't want to delete (for example, if you allow your browser to store form-filling data and passwords which you don't want to lose you simply uncheck those boxes.
It will also safely check for 'orphaned' entries and other problems in your registry, make a backup and then fix the problems.
Glary Utilities is a very similar product which does much the same and offers a few more things such as memory monitoring and management which should not strictly be necessary if you are running Windows Vista or later and have sufficient RAM installed. A useful feature is the ability to search for duplicate files.

hello ravi,
I don't have anything to secure my laptop and files aside from anti-virus.
All I need is scan my laptop sometimes and defrag- so far I haven't had big troubles with it.
I don't think such apps is badly needed as long as your anti-virus is updated.

It is better to stick with free version of galry utility until its not supported by Microsoft for long. NO software can provide you the speed of super computer if your hardware is not upto the level. I think if you want to try and if you believe that you can achieve a great performance out of this software then go ahead and buy this and tell us how you feel about this soft. By the way some software are not such great software.

superb. I normally get my laptop reformatted whenever the speed goes too much down. another member also said it may be a scam. I also delete temporary files. I may not be able to decide about buying it now,.

I have no experience to use this product
I already have an active anti virus (Quick Heal)
I clear recent file, history and other temporary file once in a week
I do clean my disk using disk clean up
And I run Disk Defragmenter once in a week
and my PC is working fast
Any ways
Thanks for sharing your experience.
