The best thing you could do for your computer is add memory. Your computer may still slow down in harbor, near land, near big convoys, etc.
I've just added WinCleaner to my computer, while I don't see any real improvement, it hasn't hurt anything. I for one had a problem after using FSautoStart and I may end up having to reformat my harddrive to correct the problem. I can not play GWX because of numerous intermittent crashes to blue screen upon exit. I did a restore but that didn't help. I've since reloaded the Grey Wolves edition to see if it crashes to blue screen as well. So far it hasn't but the verdict is still out.
A couple of free downloads I'd recommend:
Spyboot Search and Destroy (free from download.com)
Adaware (free from download.com)
CrapCleaner (free download, run a Google search) This program really gets rid of useless files and issues. It's a must have.
AVG virus scan (free download, run a Google search) This virus scan is NOT a memory hog like some that I will not mention by name. It's great and has free updats.
A couple of NOT free dowloads:
RegistryFix ($39.95 one time fee)
FreeRegistryFix ($24.95)
They really clean up useless junk in the registry and work well in conjuction with each other because neither gets rid of all the registry problems alone. Both of these programs have the ability to turn off startup items and they are easy to restore.
I run all of these programs often. Hope this is helpful.
