System Booster & Immunization

[wrc559]

Hey,

I was just wanting to get some information from the community on both System Booster & Immunization.

Are these safe to use on a regular basis on Client Desktops & Laptops running XP-8.1 or should these be used in only rare cases.

System booster removes a lot of invalid paths - Is this like CCleaner, or can this impact computer performance.

I know a lot of 3rd party software which claims to do similar things, however they can hurt your computer more then fix issues.

System immunization - I have played with this a little bit on my own PC, and have noticed that it stops me performing some key actions, its even stopped me installing applications saying I don't have administrators permissions.

Is there some keys ones that I should activate, Say on a child's PC, or a family orientated PC (Client use) without impacting their daily usage?
Should I use the "Recommended" tab for immunization & see no issues with this.

Thanks, Im just learning about these features and want to use them in a corporate environment without risk of loosing important content or ruining company brand name for tech support.

Paid User.
Thanks.

Feed can elaborate better but I'll start you off. System booster IS safe to use on all pcs. You do want to look through what it finds and just to be on the safe side create a restore point. But, Fred spends time to make sure his app does not remove any needed items.

Immunization, well, the way it works by nature it can and does affect a lot of stuff. However, it does prevent a lot of stuff from infecting the system as well. One thing I will tell you is, be very careful with execute prevent and quick books, it WILL prevent quick books from functioning properly if you don't add exceptions.

One of the best general practice rules is, try to get clients to run either on limited accounts or guest accounts. I personally don't but the account is effective at blocking installs. The draw back is, it makes the computer slightly harder to use for the customer.

I'm sure fred will chime in here and help out more, he usually does.

Hey wrc559.

Agreed. That's the reason why I made the System booster. Despite what some people say, I know for a fact that registry cleaning improves performance. In some computers, the improvement is very noticeable.

But most if not all the registry cleaners end up screwing up the system, so I needed to make a registry cleaner that's safe to use, and the result is the System booster.

I use the System booster in all the PCs I repair, and I also have been using it in my own PCs on a daily basis for several years. Never had any issue. Anyway, by default, a restore point is created before each removal, so it is safe for you to try out.

As for comparing the System booster with other registry cleaners, well, all I can say is that in my tests, the items other products find and the system booster doesn't, should not be removed, mostly. Removing some of them could even cause damage.

Let me tell you about the system immunization, now. When I created that feature, I thought I had made a huge discovery. I thought I had found a way of protecting the most vulnerable Windows registry and file system areas from being infected and most important, without using any resources. But I soon realized that things were not that easy. It was also preventing some legit programs - even Windows updates - from installing.

So I removed the non safe areas from the recommended list, but I didn't permanently remove the other areas, because they can still be useful, if used with care. When using any of the non recommended areas, users need to un-immunize them before installing new programs or Windows updates.

As Jim said, for the Execute prevent feature to work properly, you need to click List affected files, and add some of the detected paths to the exclusions list.

Unfortunately, there is no cost less way of preventing infections.
