Quote - They say win 7 doesnt need any aftermarket system tools to keep the system running topnotch.
it doesnt.
while there may be a couple of system tools out there that may bring some minor benefit, the vast majority of them only bring the potential for adware/malware/spam, corrupting your registry, or screwing up your OS in some other way.
if you want to tweak your windows 7 OS, then read up on what services can be disabled, clean your temp files regularly, defrag regularly, tweak your security settings, and turn off indexing and/or back up large amounts of small files (like image galleries, etc) off your OS drive onto external storage, DVD/BD media or cloud storage.
just as i tell people who add $30 gadgets to a $60,000 car like an Audi to 'increase fuel mileage by up to 50%' -- a team of professional engineers spent years designing the product (in the case of an OS, they are continually working on it). if a $30 piece of plastic increased fuel mileage by up to 50%, then it would have been engineered on there from the factory. same goes for some adware-infested 'registry cleaner'.
