SUPERAntiSpyware

One of the best anti-virus and anti-spyware scanners I’ve found is a program called SUPERAntiSpyware. It works right alongside your existing anti-malware software as an extra layer of protection from the not so good parts of the internet. 

When scanning your PC for viruses and other spyware having another program to aid in catching the stuff other programs miss is a good thing to have in keeping your files safe and your personal information secure.

Main Interface: Here you can check for updates and select the type of scan you want to run.

When using SUPERAntiSpyware it's always a good idea to keep it updated because new updates are sent out often and should be taken because new more advanced viruses and spyware is coming out every day.

Scanning Detail: Here you can see when you run a scan what type of unwanted items has been found.

Real-Time Blocked Items: This is only available in the purchased version.

Scheduled Scanning: Here you can set an auto scan of you PC.

Quarantine: Here you can see what was found after a scan and you can decide what action needs taken.

System Repairs: Here you can repair your system to Windows defaults if the infection corrupted anything.

In the preview above the full purchased version was used. They have a free version that works just as good. The only difference is the real time protection isn't available in the free version.

Piriform Defraggler

The disk defragmenter that come standard with Windows Vista and 7 are pretty good but they are slow and take a really long time to defrag your drive. The one I use lets you chose when you want to defragment your drive and it's quicker then Windows built in version.

Run the program and simply select the drive and press the Analyze button to get started.

It has a feature that lets you defrag individual files on by one instead of the entire drive. Or if you chose to defragment then entire drive at once on a schedule that is convenient for you.

When the analysis is finished it will display a visual drive map and a summary of how fragmented the disk is.

You can click on the drive map blocks to view what files are saved on a specific part of the disk.

On this page you can select the files (on left in check boxes) you want to defrag individually. The center column tells you how many fragments each file have and after defragmenting the number is reduced.

Or if you chose to use the search function you can find that specific file you need to defrag to save time in the searching manually 

The search function allows you to only defragment the files you need to.

Selecting files from the file list will highlight them on the drive map. You can then defrag them by checking them and clicking the Defrag button (or use the right-click menu).
