Looking For good optimizing/antivirus software, for all windows OS's

I believe in freeware and portable applications, being me running from place to place, fixing computers with nothing but a flash with well above 100 apps, a Windows LivePE, and an external to back up data if needed. I know many useful tools already in windows that can speed up your computer, and to fix quick problems. Lately, as some of my apps become a bit outdated, i've been looking for new apps that may have not been recommended to me for Optimization, any helpfull apps would be appreciated

also, it doesn't have to be only about optimization, if there's any apps you frequently use, then tell me

Just remember, free and portable

--edit, some antivirus i dont know about would be nice

Windows doesn't require third-party 'optimization' programs, Windows 7 is much more effective at managing system resources than previous operating systems. The thread which has already been posted is the best and safest option.

No probs mate another handy tool is http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/220165-troubleshooting-steps-windows-7-a.html if you get into difficulties I see it says 6 passes in the memtest but I think it is usually 8 minimum unless you get errors straight away

my usb has memtest86 just in case

What im more looking for-- sorry i wasnt clear -- is some good software that removes unwanted programs, data, things taking up space, etc. I have a few main programs I use but just seeing if i can find some extra programs to use. Plus, anyone know any good antivirus where you can choose witch drive to scan, (thats also portable)?

Revo is the best program for removing unwanted programs from your system.

Lots of good portable programs - http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/

Thanks, i'll look at these later tommorow, I'll stick with memtest86 untill the new one is NOT a beta

 

[ICIT2LOL]

No probs Red there are plenty using the beta and no issues to be seen but the choice maybe a wise one

The other stuff you will find tons of stuff in there some you might have some you will not.

This will get you all the portable utilities you could ever want from Sysinternals and Nirsoft.KLS SOFT - WSCC - Windows System Control Center.

Please note that some AVs object to some of them.

 

[d00p98uy]

There is actually a better launcher for this It's called NirLauncher, look into it, i'm sure you'll like it

 

[kado897]

Thanks redfang. That looks good. The advantage of WSCC is that it supports Sysinternals also so I think I will stick with that ATM.
