Just replaced a 4-year-old laptop. Got a Lenovo Yoga with Ryzen. Great little laptop for the family especially for the price. I'm looking at software for maintenance and antivirus either as a combo or standalone. I've always used C-Cleaner and familiar with AVG. Any suggestions? PC Mag mentions iolo as well.

Wipe and reload windows 10. That is the best tune up. Then use the built-in Defender.

I use both as well. Glad I do. Downside is the occasional pop-up from AVG. Trade-off for being free.

A clean install of Windows 10, backing up your important stuff first, is the best option.

If you don't want to do that, Malwarebytes free + TFC- temporary file cleaner (also free) is a good way to remove anything suspicious and get rid of all the temporary files that build up over time.

This. Windows Defender is one of the best home AV platforms out there, and it's free.

Avast is pretty good and fast. Cost is reasonable.
