replacement for nero, 7-zip, and windows mediaplayer
- Thread starter blues
- Start date
i am a little mad now, i installed something called freeramxp that should speed up the computer and i saw it was popular, after installing it i needed to click several times on things on the computer and on this forum, my computer startup slowed down and i couldnt find the uninstaller that belongs to freeramxp, not in revo uninstaller or other places. the only program that could possibly have removed the uninstaller is the registry cleaner in crapcleaner so i deleted the freeramxp .exe file manually and disabled its autostart in its settings and then things went better, until i installed online armor that made more mess on the computer than the worst malware i have ever had. it freezed the computer, messages about outgoing connections on different ports appeared all the time and i couldnt turn off the messages. online armor started several processes because of some error and it was almost impossible to shut them down, so i forced a computer shutdown.
afterwards i uninstalled almost all programs i had on the computer in madness,
and revo found some uninstallers that windows didnt find.
revo was the only program that could help me with all this crap (thanks drragostea
)
now i have run checkdisc, and defragmented the computer with auslogics disc defrag and are scanning with norman antivirus/antispyware, then i will scan with spybot afterwards.
i will NEVER use registry cleaners, tweaking software and third party firewalls again, the windows firewall is enough for me.
i barely want to install imgburn also, maybe it makes things worse.
burnaware wich i used months ago set the burning speed down on my burner and i couldnt burn faster than 6 in speed and couldnt change it even after uninstalling burnaware.
there is so much junk programs out there that i cant even tell.
maybe i should look closer on the "registry cleaners not recommended thread" also, again. crapcleaner and the other programs i used is just crap
the only one i dont know if is safe wich i use now is auslogics disc defrag.
holy moses:spider:

Hello, Spybot is a great program and i am glad there people that are as good hearted and professional as to make it free, since majority of us cant afford to pay the internet mafia for protection, so a big Thanks for the team!
About CDBurnerXP, i just downloaded it as i was looking for a free cd burner and it completely froze the computer, it wouldnt even turn off,
Its first time its happening to me with this computer which has Vista, i think it happened when I pressed the play button on the player inside it...
And my internet seems slower now although i unistalled CDBurnerXP
What do you think? Could it be dangerous?
I've been installing and testing programs for a loooong time now and I've never had any problems :spider: (maybe I just get lucky! :santa
errm....hope everything goes well
Yeah, my fav programs for testing programs: Revo uninstaller (always useful to get rid of all the leftover traces of a program) and ccleaner (like tashi - no registry)
The only thing I do with the registry is either back it up or use NT Registry Optimizer :laugh: (although the difference is hardly noticeable - I'm too stubborn for the placebo effect to work on me! :laugh
ATM im beta testing Advanced Windows Care v3 - Which I like to recommend to novice users (and lazy users :laugh - For me though, it doesn't offer enough control

blues, it may be that you are installing too many new programs in a short time?
I have used CCleaner for years without a problem, simple cleanups, not registry.
maybe i installed to much, but it wasnt so many programs i installed eiher. the only new ones that were running all the time was "online armor" and freeramxp, and i also had logitech setpoint and logitech messenger but i dont have them anymore.
and this is the startups that i has now:

maybe i should use everything in ccleaner, but not the registry cleaner.
but is it safe to delete registry keys from uninstalled programs?
In replacement for 7-Zip, I suggest IZArc:
http://www.download.com/IZArc/3000-2250_4-10072925.html?part=dl-10072925&subj=dl&tag=button
In replacement for Windows Media Player, I suggest Satsuki Decoder Pack:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Satsuki_Decoder_Pack.htm
Both are spyware-free freewares that work perfectly well with me.

i didnt like winrar. i use 7-zip, but i couldnt get 7-zip to extract multiple rar files, like rar001 and such. so i will try IZArc, i have never heard about it before, i hope it is safe.
i also use k-lite codec pack full with media player classic, because vlc mediaplayer had to difficult settings. what is the difference between Satsuki Decoder Pack and k-lite codec pack?

Satsuki Decoder Pack is just composed of filters (no codecs!), so it does not burden your system and it prevents conflicts between codecs.
