Your PC does not need dynamic wallpaper or a health check

Do not install any of the following types of programs, they are almost guaranteed to be spyware, slow down your computer, and be difficult to remove:
  • Dynamic wallpaper/screensaver
  • PC health check
  • Speed up your PC
  • Clean your PC
  • Any new special anti-virus program (you should only have one trusted anti-virus program)
  • Defrag your computer
Instead, use Ad-aware or Spybot Search & Destroy to keep your Windows computer clean.
