6. Its Health Care can diagnose computer problems and help  improve security and performance.

Avira and Baidu appear to have entered into an arrangement, where users of Avira Free AntiVirus 2013 can download and install Baidu PC Faster as an update to its antivirus software. You can download the bundle from this link.

If you’d like to keep your PC fast and smooth throughout its life, then you can’t be without Baidu PC Faster. One click and you’ll perform a complete maintenance routine, including boot time optimization, disk cleanup and much more, says Avira.

Baidu PC Faster works on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP, 32-bit and 64-bit only. It does not work on Windows 8. You can download it from its home page.

I have not tried it, but if any of you – especially our readers from China and Thailand have tried it, we’d love to hear what you have to say.

    China is notorious for planting exploits in their Windows apps and in their smartphones. And I do not mean simple adware or even spyware of the mere commercial sort to which we’ve all become accustomed, and which is easily found by consumer anti-malware utilities. Rather, I’m talking about sophisticated, military-grade stuff that’s intended to monitor what users of the both software and hardware are doing; with whom they’re communicating, and what they’re saying/writing…

    …the kind of spying that communist and fascist countries have always done against their citizens; and said citizens, faced with no other choices, in resignation, usually just learn to live with it.

    In the United States, such things are so intolerable that I find it difficult to even adequately express it in words, here. No one learns to live with it. Since I know that the contributors to this website are not Americans, I worry that they’re not being sufficiently careful about what they recommend to the readers, here. I worry that their non-US upbringing, which has lacked the primacy of US-style civil rights and privacy, has caused their tolerance of governmental spying to be higher, and their standards for what they will absolutely not tolerate, no matter what, to be lower.

    I love this site, as you know. However, for it to suggest a tool like this from a Chinese purveyor (Baidu) — especially one so involved in both the Google-in-China debacle of the past, as well as ongoing spying and censorship issues of the past and present — is downright irresponsible. I’m very disappointed.

    Hi Gregg,

    Worrying about folks who come with a non-US upbringing is highly presumptuous. You don’t need to worry about my non-US upbringing. In fact I am grateful for the Indian upbringing which I have been brought up with.

    As I mentioned, Avira and Baidu appear to have entered into an arrangement, where Avira Free AntiVirus 2013 is offering Baidu PC Faster as a bundle. I presume, Avira has checked the credentials of Baidu’s software.

    This site covers freeware, and does not necessarily recommend all that it covers. Where I recommend something, you can see such a tone in the last para of the post. (eg: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/avast-antivirus-free-download). And then there are are other software I simply cover, just because many may want to just know about it.

    Please keep the comments, which I enjoy reading, coming.

    Cheers! :)

    PS: You may not then want to read another post of mine which may appear today – talks of an AntiVirus software from Baidu.

    Gregg, with all due respect, I do suggest a some travel, particularly looking at other societies and their political and economic systems. Nothing like it to broaden the mind and, particularly when viewing one’s homeland from afar, to put things into perspective…

    Baidu is a public corporation. It must abide by worlwide standards and
    it’s no worse than Google-spy or Microsoft-crap….The Chinese gov’t is
    notorious for hacking but mostly gov’t to gov’t…the Russian’s do it
    for profit … Baidu is a better run and more popular than Google
    company and you haven’t heard anything such as US gov’t and Google in
    bed together spying on American’s, which is a violation of our
    Constitution.

    Thanks for the comment.

    I am aware that you are a very opinionated person and it was only the other days that you worried about our “non-US” upbringing!? Its a pity that you now think this website is getting “sloppy in thinking” – I am sure then, that you will stop visiting it some day…
