Need to do a cleanup on Windows Vista
It is an HP Pavilian DV6000 running Home Premium.
The first thing I went to look at was to see if there is an MSCONFIG to look at what is starting up. Is there a new way to check this?
Protection: It is running the Norton Protection Center, which of course is expired. What do you recommend? The plan is to uninstall and install AVG.
but how about malware? What packages would you recommend for vista? Both, to do a one time scan to check for bugs, and two, a long term solution to keep scanning as life goes on.
I see it has 1 gig of ram. Guess I should check into what it would take to get that bumped up to 2 gigs, huh?
Any other cleanup/optimization tips for Vista you can give?
She has two girls, and each has the same laptop, so will be repeating these steps again in a week.
Thanks all. I am probably going to get a pizza out of this!
