I do a thorough cleaning of all drives ("C", "D", external hard drive, and all flash drives) once a week with the followiing software in order (takes about 4-6 hours, but it is well worth the time): Window Washer (Webroot) with wipe deleted files; AVS Registry Cleaner (AVS); Windows Disk Cleaner; Ccleaner (Piriform) with registry clean and wipe deleted files; Glary Utilities (GlarySoftware), all its utilities; Advanced System Care (Iobit), all its utilities; Smart Defrag (Iobit); Deflagger (Piriform); Ad-Aware (Lavasoft), scan for trojans, spyware; Windows Check Disk (need to reboot); and Avast Professional Anti-Virus scan (Avast) (also during the reboot). After all this is finished, the Vista operating system works like a charm Anyone else have utilities that are used on a regular basis to clean the computer, if so, like to hear from you

you can try smart defrag(free)...I like deflagger cause I have used their product ccleaner for years plus deflagger permits individual files to be defragged. full hard drive does take time, with smart defrag it takes very fast but not as thorough.
