is safe to upgrade to Windows10?

[RedBaird]

.No'Waaaaaasky  did a "likes this" on SmTH's post, which was dated 1 hour and 35 minutes after No'Waa  posted his "83% done" pic.  I also see " Last Active Today, 07:51 PM " on his profile , which for me was almost an hour ago.  He has not posted anything since that pic-post.

 

I hope that means that he updated successfully.    :cross-fingers-emoticon:

Thank you

The best thing you can do after it is installed is to Google Windows 10 tips and tricks and follow everything that you read and that will take care of security and optimizing it

[Solberg]

some optimizer for Windows 10 you can recommend me and antivirus that which had the laptop to expired

The only antivirus I use is Windows Defender. That's really all you need

OK thanks

The only antivirus I use is Windows Defender. That's really all you need   *if you are very experienced with browsing the internet.

 

Fixed that for you. Hah.

 

In all honesty, WD isn't that great for the average everyday user. While it can pick up on threats and stop potential issues, it'll miss a lot more malicious stuff. It's good for an active stand-in for experienced users, but those who aren't as knowledgeable are left pretty vulnerable.

 

 

Me personally, I'm above average to experienced with internet security. I've self taught myself a lot thanks to early teenage years of piracy and other questionable browsing. I don't have an active antivirus scanner and will probably never use one. Every one that I've used has been an absolute pain, has intrusive pop-ups, or frankly works like shit.

 

That said, I do use other free tools that are, for me, some of the best cleaning tools I've used. I install these on my family's computer, because I got sick of being the "tech guy" and getting stuck fixing and cleaning their shit.

 

 

 

Malwarebytes: This shit is the bees knees. It's absolutely free and also comes in a paid version. It doesn't actively run, so you need to do your own scanning every once in a while, but it picks up on some of the nastiest shit that other AV programs seem to miss. It's constantly updated and on a lot of well known technical help websites (Mybleepingcomputer, Tom's Hardware etc) it's usually recommended. https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/

 

 

SuperAntiSpyware: This is like Malwarebytes. In my opinion, a little better than MWB. I usually run this first, and then run MWB afterward to make sure I got everything. SAS and MWB together work rather well as long as you keep them updated and do a scan at least once every couple of weeks. It's also FREE. http://www.superantispyware.com/

 

 

HitmanPro: Now this program has a free trial that expires. So you have to uninstall and reinstall often. At least that's been my experience.However, this is another one that often catches things missed by the big time scanners. I only use this if I got something that is very sneaky, like keyloggers or whatever. Not a necessary one, but good on emergency. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/hitmanpro/

 

 

AdwCleaner: This is just an adware cleaner. Novice downloaders I would recommend this to. A lot of free programs (like flash and java) come with shitty bloatware that takes over certain aspects of your computer. (Like installing their own search bars, or taking over ads on the internet). It's annoying and can be problematic. AdwCleaner typically tracks this bloatware junk and removes it. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

 

 

TDSSKiller: This one is for killing rootkit viruses. The nasty bastards that disguise itself as other programs to avoid detection. Typically you won't run into a ton of these, but always a just in case thing. This would be more more experienced users. The link location also has some tips renaming the exe to prevent rootkits from nullifying TDSSKiller. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/tdsskiller/

 

 

CCleaner: This is just a computer cleaning program that removes unused and/ or unwanted files. Cookies, temporary internet files, etc. Will help find garbage that you can delete to free up space. Some options in the program are for experienced users, but they have some basics that are easy to figure out. Nice thing is that because it will hunt down Temp internet files, it can be used in conjunction with MWB or SAS to remove leftover threats or contaminated files. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

 

 

 

Lastly, I would recommend, for whatever browser you use, to get AdblockPlus. It will cut down on a lot of ads that you'll see online. Which can also help cut down on potential infections. Though if you do use it, I recommend whitelisting some websites you visit, because some sites that you may love, rely on ads to help pay for hosting and keep themselves in business.  https://adblockplus.org/ 

 

 

 

The first two SAS and MWB, and adblock plus I highly recommend just because of their usefulness. The others are case by case or vary from user to user. All are great little tools to have in your arsenal. /highfive

Sid,i go everywhere with no problems. Porn,torrents, etc.i do run some of the programs you listed above once a month, but all they find are tracking cookies

[SiD]

That's why I said experienced users in the first part. Hah. 

 

People like you and I won't typically ever have problems. We are knowledgeable of what or what not is going to put us at risk. But those less versed in how the internet works are going to have a bad time. In the span of a year I had to clean out my mother's computer at least 6 times because my brother (28) refuses to learn how shit works. He goes to dodgy movie streaming sites that have ads telling you to 'Install this codec to watch this movie', downloads bloatware programs to download youtube videos and still uses garbage like limewire to download music.

 

I eventually had to force her to set a password on her PC and take away his ability to install anything.
