Keep it FAST-Keep it CLEAN! (Your PC, that is!)

Microsoft Security Essentails

I have spent thousands of £'s over the years on Norton's bullshit which I have been running on a few PC's at my office. It drives you bloody mad and slows the PC down so much and you are beholden to it every time you boot up for the first half an hour or so while it does this that and the other.

I cleaned the lot off now and use the above Microsoft Security Essentials coupled with CC Cleaner and AVG. So far so good but of course there is always those maggots out there who want to fuck you computer up for the fun of it and of course trawling through porn sites are a bit like bareback anal sex; probably ok most of the time but bloody dangerous with the wrong one!

Hey all, my second post I think. Read this and thought I may bring add a computer related query to it. I advertised a house share and this bloke from Italy moved in. I was in a bit of a hurry to get some housemates as my agency was threatening that i pay the whole 900 quid. Cut to the chase.
This fella is an IT guy and has tampered with the router. I did not think anything of it till yesterday when I was getting my regular fix of xhamster that I couldnt get in. I had a look at the sky configurations but nothing seems to be out of order. But then again I am not a computer wizz. I am however convinced he could be "listening" in on my internet activity with key logging apparently from what I have read.
This chap pretty much stays in all day, glued to his laptop has not got a job and is very mysterious. He hasnt even signed the contract to the house yet. Dodgy bloke!!

Any tech saavy fellas here know what I must do?

Question for anyone who has used CCLean. I downloaded it yesterday and did a sweep of junk. My computer seems to be better, but now when I open tabs in windows explorer, the resolution is gigantic. The desktop and even the IE taskbars are normal, but the content in the tabs is blown up, and its annoying! anybody have a clue as to how to correct this? IS this something that may be a result of using the CCLeaner?

It doesn't sound like anything I have ever experienced with using CCLeaner. (Almost 10 years now.)
But, try this:
Try hitting the Ctrl key and the - sign at the same time.
If that doesn't reduce your sizes, and it just icons that that are huge, you may need to go into your Options menu in IE and reset the defaults.
I am sketchy on this noyt being able to see your PC--but if anyone else has a solution please pipe up!
Thank you!

He could well be an amateur hack with time on his hands.
I don't know much about how wifi networks operate but I do know there's ways in which you can protect your surfing and find out if you're being hacked by typing your query into google. The best solutions come from geek and hack forums.
Good luck and kick the fucker out...

sorry to be skeptical but how can all these products be so effective at fixing pc's and still be free. There's a multi-billion dollar anti-virus software industry out there. Are the pay sites just a scam ?

Been living under a rock for a while? The last time I paid for software was 2004 when I bought Norton Pro and I had a shitload of problems. After talking to a friend he told me about AVG and it cleared up all the problems Norton let through. I've since moved on to Avira AV and still haven't had a problem. I also use Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware and only download programs like that from Cnet.com, since they are guaranteed virus free. You should NEVER pay for something that is free, especially when the free versions work better. I see how you could be mislead thinking that because you pay for something it will work better than something that's free, but in this case, you couldn't be farther from the truth.
