Here are some helpful tips for speeding and cleaning up your computer.

Speed:

Delete large programs that you no longer use. Reduce the number of programs that start up when your computer boots up, if possible. A handy program is Glarysoft’s CodeStuff Starter, which lets you manage start up programs and running processes.

Consider deleting hefty and sluggish anti-virus programs. Programs by Norton/Symantec in particular can slow down a computer to unmanageable speeds, and McAfee can be sluggish as well. You may want to consider faster (and free) alternatives such as Avast! and Nod32.

Defragment your hard drive. Windows users can use the system’s Defrag tool to do this. Defrag is useful for organizing system contents for optimized speed.

Clean Up:

Spybot Search and Destroy has been downloaded by millions, and with good reason. The free bane of Spyware has received numerous awards and provides firewall, immunization, and scanning protection for your computer.

Both for its contributions to your internet browsing experience and to internet security, downloading of the free FireFox Add-On, Ad-Block Plus is highly recommended. Not only will this handy little Add-On stop Popups, it also stops text ads and ads within the browser window itself. Downloaded over 45 million times since its reception in mid-2006, this is an invaluable software program to have.

Check the computer fan on your computer Tower and clean it at least a few times each year to prevent dust from clogging up the fan. Clogging can produce fan-shutdown, which in turn leads to computer overheating and eventual inability to start up. E-How has a useful guide for cleaning the fan.
