Recommended tools to clean up your computer

When you have a encrypted system (lor example TrueCrypt), then it could take up to several hours (depends on the size and speed of your harddrive) to just encrypt it. So it's going to be an annoying process to reinstall everything.

Why on earth would you encrypt your OS and apps? You don't keep all your data on the same drive as your operating system and programs do you?

If you really want to know, all my internal and external HDD's are encrypted.

If it doesn't make sense to you, nevermind.
 
That still doesn't answer the question.

Well, inside my notebook I only have one hdd.
-> The installed software is on the same partition as the operating system is.
-> My personal data is stored on another partition but still on the same drive.

So you're one dead hard drive away from losing everything? I hope that's not the case and the aforementioned external HDDs are on some sort of daily backup. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure you can encrypt just the data partition and leave the OS/programs partition unencrypted so it makes for easy reinstallation, not to mention a faster computer. I mean, did you ever think that perhaps the system slowdown isn't related to all the crap you've installed but instead the fact that you've encrypted your entire OS and programs?

You must be involved in some pretty nefarious business or some bad ass hackers must be after your shit if you feel the need to encrypt all your data stores. Or you don't want that hacked copy of office 2003 to get stolen ;)

No, I'm not one dead hdd away from losing everything. As I said before, I use external drives for backups. And yes, they are scheduled daily.
Of course, a fully encrypted hdd makes the OS slower but that wasn't ever the case. It just has slowed down for about a couple of weeks.
However, I'm not here to talk about the whole purpose of encrypting a system volume. If you're interested anyway, I can redirect you to some articles.

Dumbest point of view i've ever seen on this. Honestly, I doubt that you know a thing about it.

If you were hostin gigs and gigs of child pr0n you might feel the need to make sure your hdd is locked down to. Amirite?
 
have never tried these four, was using avira but i am currently using avast, working fine

I'm using Avira too, but the tools mentioned are more specific in some ways. However, you should try them, at least CCleaner and see what it does. Your computer can by full of mal- and spyware even when you use a firewall and an antivirus solution.
 
...not funny dude
