Tips for Keeping Your Computer in Top Shape

- Run disk cleanup after every update or software installation to keep down the disk clutter from the internet and installation software.
- Run software that optimizes the registry to improve boot-up time and responsiveness of the computer. This can be free software such as C-Cleaner or pay software such as One Click Cleaner or Registry Optimizer.
- Run a complete anti-virus scan once a week. The anti-virus program performs automatic scans after installation. For a manual scan at any time, insure that the anti-virus program is up-to-date by starting the update from the anti-virus program menu. After the update completes, start the scan, preferably a complete system scan.
- Run anti-spy software to pick up anything that the Anti-Virus software misses.
- Run the de-fragmentation software last to improve the speed of the de-fragmentation.
- Keeping the hard drive clean of clutter will improve computer performance.
