"RAM Cleaners" are a scam and most of the time slow your system. Another excellent freeware, set it and forget it: CleanMem http://www.pcwintech.com/tools/CleanMem.html This shortcut works. “RAM Cleaners” are a scam and most of the time slow your system.

However, "SweepRAM" does a better job, IMHO! Basically, SweepRAM kicks everything into the SwapFile (once - it doesn't stay running), and the running software takes back ONLY what it REALLY needs - It 'cleans up' after 'memory leakage', plus many progs grab more memory than they really need - They assume 'worst case scenario', which is often too much for routine usage! To test, open Task-Manager showing "Memory Usage" & "VM Size" columns, and run SweepRAM, which 'Cleans & Exits', it's not resident! Big Cleaning! ;-) http://88.191.26.34/computers_are_fun/sweepram/ Cool, seems to help!

I’m agree with Rarst:

If 1-2 days slow down computer – it’s time to clean up and question selection of apps used.

I will click again on the button when vista really slow down and lets see what it does :) Lol I have tried it, but it seems to do nothing, but okay, there was also no reason to reset.

Last time I ran into problems (some weird leak created trouble with network connections) after 40+ (forty) days of uptime.
