Lets get that computer tuned-up (if you have an Apple computer, you might want to read about speeding up your Mac with Onyx). In this writing, I will not be talking about computer repair, but regular computer maintenance.

Performing these updates and running this software will keep your computer clean, secure, and fast

Overview: First we delete unecessary and temporary files from your computer. Then we organize the data on the drive. Next we protect the computer from spyware and scan for malware. Finally, we wrap up with operating system optimizations, patch security holes, and update software and/or drivers.

Step 1, Lets begin:

CCleaner (make by Piriform) is a system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removed unused files from your system – Allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up hard disk space (in some cases, a lot of space).  It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. The best part is that it’s fast.

How to use CCleaner

Once you have installed the program, close all internet windows (Please Bookmark CompuTechs+ Website so you can return to this tutorial!) and simply click on the ‘Run Cleaner’ button. This also deletes all files in the Recycle Bin. It will give you a pop-up stating that the program deletes files permanently and that you confirm you want to run the program. Depending on how long it has been since your temporary files, it may take some time to delete all the unnecessary junk on your computer. After a significant amount of data has been freed up, you should notice a small difference right away. Here is a list of what CCleaner cleans:
