Answer 2

The best way is to download Ccleaner here http://bitly.com/UrALrK

Or you can go on Windows operating system locate the command prompt and go there to do the following:
Create a Recovery file of system and date it today.

Then begin by;
delete the 'Temp' folders..they have hidden subfolders so you need to set the attributes in order to bypass this. For each subfolder delete all cookies and rubbish left behnd after install-uninstalled programs. Do a 'dir' command to check your progress. Make sure the 'Temp' file is empty.

goto c:\windows\prefetch and delete everything in there..no exceptions

goto c:\windows folder and delete all the '$' files that have been installed by updates. They can all be succesfully deleted and just take up disk space.

Locate the Internet Temporary Files..Check to see how high the saving level is..some have it set at 30 days..but that stores faaaar tooo much data..though it slows down the system overal. Keep this to a minimum..suggest 2 or 5 at most.

Delete all 'cookies' all those you don't need.

Locate the windows directory and go through the folders you know and those you don't need. Check this once a week at least. Some programs will install under XP as NT and older systems where there is no check of systems weight.

Check to see that system files have not changed since last booting. Things like .ini files or .bat are important items.


Check for 'Hidden Directories' all over the disk...do this at the command prompt:

dir *.* /ah wil show these hidden directories

Check the 'dir' command for all parameters

There really is nothing useful in cleaning up a pc to operate faster. Dont be fooled into buying a Reg. Clean. It will do nothng.

You yourself, can take action. Remove all unused programs from your pc. Run the Fragment elimination on your pc, and use a good anti virus like AVG, the one you pay for.

Your connection, line or DSL or whatever you have pretty much sets your computer NET speeds . There in lies the transfer speed of files etc for a given computer that you are pretty much stuck with..

Answer 4

I use 4 programs once a week. They are all free downloads from the internet:

CCleaner
Ewido Anti-malware
Spybot Search and Destroy
Ad-Aware SE

I find that they pick up all of the possible errors virus etc. I also get Norton to run once a week too.

Also, try to de-frag your computer once a month. It may take a couple of hours but it'll speed things up lots and keep your computer memory tidy.
