Saw this while poring over the local Craigslist, had to share it. The ad is for what looks to be a 2003 HP Pavilion. (Bold text added for emphasis; original posting here)
Fresh, clean-slate installation of Windows 7 Home Premium!
Downloaded and installed all possible Microsoft/Windows Updates (has been sitting for a bit, so more updates are most likely available). Installed Flash & Java and also applied a customized advanced performance optimization for the system. Installed Google's Chrome Web Browser, Microsoft Security Essentials, MalwareByte's Antimalware, Spybot Search & Destroy and CCleaner. Also, other various free software applications to cover the user's basic computer needs; such as PDF viewer, VLC Media Player, iTunes, Picasa, etc. Applied a performance tune-up to the system; start-up program/services management, temp/cache/cookie file clean-up, visual effects optimization and paging file optimization.
I cracked up when I read that. I love how it says "fresh, clean-slate installation" and then proceeds to outline all the ways in which the installation is completely FUBAR. How much you wanna bet the machine is missing actual essential software, like drivers? Silly used computer dealers 🤣
