You should have said when you're using the "free" automated maintenance software, you're bound to mess up your PC. That goes for free virus protection too.

I had the pleasure of repairing a laptop that had three different speed up my PC type utilities on it at the same time and CCleaner with every single box checked. It was a total wreck. It was Windows 10 so I just did a total refresh and kept no software. It had a RAMdisk built in from the factory. It was fast enough without that rubbish software. It had a ton of viruses including something called a Delta Search redirect that was a PITA to get rid of. I spent a while fixing that. Can you say 'cha-ching'? I charged plenty but the owner was happy. Didn't listen to me though and downloaded the same junkware and a week later they came back again. Cha-ching. I keep telling them to leave it alone but do they listen? Nope! You want to know how they speed up your PC? Change all of the power settings and modify the Registry so it never shuts off and only goes into Sleep mode. You hit the Power button and it's right at Desktop! Wow, this is really fast now! The problem is that since it never reboots or shuts down, the updates never get installed. Hmmm?

I use a PC tuneup utilities, but I'm a little disappointed that AVG bought it. I'm disgruntled now by it.

I keep getting popups from AVG saying they'll tune up my PC for free the first time. I want to know what settings they're changing and what they're doing before I'll let them touch my OS. There are no options to see their changes or any way to select what you want them to change and what you don't. They'd probably defrag my SSD RAID-0 array if I wasn't paying attention.

They don't really change any settings, only if you say so, then it will. What it does it is it monitors what you do within windows, down to the core, (with very minimal power or resources being utilized) and then it comes back and recommends things you can deactivate based on what you do on your PC. It also clears your registry, temp internet files, gets rid of the garbage, the standard cleaning that most programs do already. Uninstalls programs, suggests programs you can delete based on the last time you used it. optimizes your hard drives, clears the junk, fixes errors and broken shortcuts. It does a lot more. It's very innovative, and very thorough.
 It really is an awesome program to have. But i'm so disappointed that they made it a monthly subscription. I'm just appalled.

Yeah, after some recent changes with how AVG sends it's info and with it's constant barrages to upgrade, I ditched them on all builds I am doing and moved to Avira. CCleaner is great though as long as you know what you are doing. We had someone use it on a work computer that junked some important registry entries as well as some other small things that were checked and thought of as junk. Thankfully, all of our systems were imaged and it wasn't even worth trying to fix what this guy did.
 Anyway, I hope next time around, they do a totally different Fallout game. I love the idea of waking up or having to go into a Fallout shelter with something happening. I love the combat system, crafting and weapons/armor. What I wish they would do different is another take on the characters. The companions were a great add-on but some of the characters seem tired to me. Deathclaws, mirelurks, radscorpions, eyebots and the raider-types as well as the Revolutionary war type stuff just feel over used. The synths were a great addition and I understand there can only be some many variants after a fallout.
 
Sometimes I also wish they would cut down on all the text on terminals and backstory stuff. Some of it was interesting reading logs and emails but I lost track of who was who and everything else. I think it would be cool to have one set in the LA area with a destroyed Disneyland where you could go inside all the inner workings of the park and roam around Compton. I know that's far out but I think it would be cool.

I was thinking about going with Avira or Avast but I couldn't remember which one I wanted. I found another year's worth of AVG on sale at NewEgg so I got it. Stupid me!

Avira? Hmm. I will look into them.

I am stuck at the 'Battle for Bunker Hill' quest. From what I've read it becomes available after you have completed all other quest options from the other factions and it can't be avoided. I would prefer to play it on my main PC but I am stuck with this one until my fittings get here on Friday. That's like an eternity to me without being able to play Fallout 4.

So about those mod tools.......
