Guys please cool it on the hostility. All my threads are turning into dogfights at the minute for no reason.
Good PC tune-up software?

I'm not trying to have a go at you personally. I just think, as the saying goes, a little knowledge can be dangerous. It's great that you're studying and I'm sure you do know some useful things - but again, nothing you've said in this thread or in your linked YT video, indicates that you have sufficient knowledge to dive in and give advice on this subject.
I don't think any of us are being hostile. We're just pointing out where bad / ill-informed advice is being given. For my money, that's non-hostile, constructive dialog.
Fox, no one has had a go, if anything they've just tried to push you in the right direction, to clarify points made so future readers don't make mistakes. No requirement to post in White either
Gosh.. I bet if Illusion starts a "happy birthday someone" thread, it'd still turn into an argument. lol
A good defrag with diskeeper will help a lot and cleaning the registry with something like CCleaner will help too. I always change my virtual memory to the max. Not sure if it helps but I do it anyway 
. Add more RAM. Not too much cause it'll stop making a difference after so much RAM is installed.

I'll stake my reputation on CCleaner...
Throw on MalwareBytes if you think you have some suspicious activity.

I feel obligated at this point to mention that Microsoft Security Essentials is a GREAT free solution for real-time malware protection. Microsoft actually did well there. I'd definitely go with MSE before Avast or AVG. If something gets by it, clean it up with MalwareBytes.
CCleaner is really the only program I'd trust to do anything with the registry because it's so cautious.

don't really do much. maybe once every few months i'll check disk and permissions in disk utility. maybe a couple times a year i'll defrag my main storage volume and manually peruse my OSX volume for any abnormally large files.
I mainly subscribe to the "if it ain't broke..." mantra.
