A spring clean in autumn, summer and winter as well for my computer

The last few weeks my computer has been very temperamental, so much so I thought that it was on the way to the big PC World up in the sky. It kept shutting down, usually before I'd managed to save what work I had done, and it was very S L O W. I have full McAfee security on my computer and I had done several full scans, which didn't pick anything up, I really thought the days were numbered for my trusty friend. Then I read a review about Piriform's CCleaner, I couldn't see the harm in trying it, I did and what a difference it has made. It's been like a dose of Viagra for my poor old warhorse!! The CCleaner (I do believe that this stands for Crap Cleaner) is a freeware system tool for PC users who use Microsoft Windows. That removes unused and temporary files from your system allowing it to run faster, more efficiently and giving you more hard disk space. It is very quick to run and is free to use (although there is a Pay Pal facility to make a donation to use the software, which I have to admit I didn't use at first, but was so pleased with the results that I went back and sent a fiver!) Look if I can do it, I can assure you that ANYONE can!! The install is really easy, and the download took about 20 seconds on my broadband connection. An Install Options page comes up, and I left all the boxes ticked - these were things like having a shortcut on your desktop, all pretty straightforward there. You download the CCleaner software from their website (http://www.ccleaner.com/) Then install it in your system. It covers all Microsoft windows systems including Windows XP and Windows Vista. When it is installed it stays on your system for you to use, as you require. I am so glad that I read that review on CCleaner, it has made such a difference to my PC, and I just hope that this will help somebody else
