this may take a few minutes to a few hours

days, even... kaspersky suggested i spring clean my computer and impulsively, way past my bedtime and near complete exhaustion, i've decided to follow their suggestions... does that make it advice?... i mean, what turns a suggestion into advice, anyway?... meanwhile, it's taking a long long time... might as well do some heavy reading cuz all we've got is time (or religion, after all... or something like that...

anyway, two days later, the defrag monstrosity that windows puts into it's operating system is still trying to defrag this laptop... eventually, as this entry continues )it is being written over several days, at least), i cancelled the crappy microsoft defrag that comes with vista and searched for the latest best reviewed defrag software... and i settle on auslogic defrag software and it works pretty well... at least it said it worked pretty well... it was free, so well enough i hope (we shall see if the computer reboots properly, aye?)... of course it told me i had other issues and offered to sell me another product to clean my registry and clean up my pc so i searched for a highly rated free registry cleaner and found auslogic registry cleaner and it worked pretty well too, again, cuz it said so...

being on a roll, i downloaded glary utilities, highly rated, but not working completely so i downloaded duplicate file finder and am letting it find and delete duplicate files... it is working right now... when it is done, lots are deleted but again it asks for money to upgrade to delete more files... hey, what it does is better than nothing...

so perhaps the computer feels better now... it still takes way too long to boot up, but that's vista...
