Some have told me it is filled with "spyware and malware". That sounds pretty scary, but I don't know the truth to it. To what degree is it malicious is my question?
Anyway I'd like to know how to make it faster and delete all the unneeded programs and to disable automatic update, which is very annoying.
Thanks so much!
You can use the built in
Windows Defender, which scans for viruses and malware.
And make sure your computer is
up to date first or you may miss the newest viruses. By not updating, you are hoping the bad guys don't evolve their tactics.
