Steps to clean your PC for performance

Some simple maintenance tasks once or twice a month can keep your PC running smoothly.
Spyware, adware, and viruses need to be detected and removed frequently to maximize your computer's efficiency. Your hard drive and personal files must be managed and stored properly to ensure that they are not corrupted over time. Important data should be backed up onto a storage source such as a DVD or an external hard drive.

Use the following steps to Clean Your PC:

Step 1 - Undo Harmful changes using Windows System Restore

Undo harmful changes to your computer by using the Windows System Restore feature. This tool returns your computer to a date before you installed that unwanted software or began receiving those annoying pop-up advertisements.

Step 2 - Remove malicious software

Installing Anti-Virus software and keeping the virus definition files current is the very best way to maintain the health of your computer.

Step 3 - Manage your hard drive more effectively

Manage your hard drive more effectively by using Microsoft Windows built-in system tools. Disk Cleanup deletes temporary files and other data that make your computer run slower.

Disk Defragmenter takes all of the scattered bits of program data and groups them together in the front of the drive, helping your hard drive to work faster and store more data.

We will go into detail on how to do these steps in upcoming posts.
