Is it worth paying extra for a Windows optimisation service with a new PC.

@ Glenn 
sorry to say but was the worst ever software i have ever used as suggested from PN forums , in fact i would say it worse than you get from DL.com
and i decline all the bloatware that was included in the DL and still got infected !!
i had in the end to uninstall FF and reinstall it !!! because i couldn't get rid of the search BHO included , yes i did try  " Hijack this" as well as MAlwarebytes
It may have been good but didnt try because of the poop included

I'll be getting a custom built pc later in the year and I'll be getting Windows 7 Pro for it, I'm wondering if you got the exe file for 7 Smoker Pro from the xp smoker official site or a third party site.
I'll be looking into it more before I get a new rig....thanks for the heads up.

I download from the link you provided .

Oh gawd right...I thought you'd tried it before and were telling us about it.I've had the 7smoker.exe scanned by online virus and malware scanners and the two sites I used give it a clean bill of health...Virus Total scans it with many different anti virus and anti malware programmes and Dr Web gives it the ok as well.

PUP's don't mean you're infected, they're given as something you might want to look further into but don't mean they're necessarily harmful.I think you said a search bar was installed in your Firefox browser, that's happened to me before, there's no need to reinstall the browser to fix it, a quick google search will give you instructions on how to easily remove it and put your browser back to how it was.
As I said previously, I have XP Smoker Pro on my pc and I didn't get any browser guff and I don't even see any ads when I use it.

it wasnt Smoker that was the problem ,, it was the other add on free unwanted auto installs that came with download package

Bit of a joke - you pay money for an operating system and you want to (presumably) pay more money just to make it work a bit less slowly.
Windows seems to be very complicated.

It is like buying a car
It does need to be maintained to be kept in tip top condition
Some people do not have the skills & or knowledge, therefore they will pay a garage / friend / family member to service & maintain that it is kept in tip top condition

It's software.
You don't have to change the oil or check for bits falling off.

Self explanatory tbh

These factors can include excessive buildup of dust, heat or magnetism; viruses picked up from the Internet or from storage media shared between different computers; static electricity shocks or power surges; carelessness, such as spilling liquids into a computer or bumping or dropping the hard drive casing; software that has not been configured correctly or a PC's setup that has been handled incorrectly, such as incorrect handling of upgrades.
