From where I stand, computer is really a part of my daily life. Without computer, I can not continue my life any longer.

But sometimes, you may meet such a situation that your computer can’t work well and run very slowly, but you have no certain reasons. In fact, it is time to clean your computer. Now, I just meet such a problem.

However, when I am ready to clean it, I get confused for having no good steps and ways. Anyone can give me some tips or opinions? How often do you maintain your computer? How to clean your computer and make it run faster?

happy Hi. You can begin by clearing out, through the control panel, any temporary internet files, and you can run "defrag" and such. Disk compression feature sometimes helps, but in reality, the best way is to pay a usually small sum to a professional to do the clean-up and such.

You can also add extra ram memory, or again, if you don't know exactly how, have a pro do this for you.

I have set a maintenance guide schedule for both my PC and laptop computer at home. This guide should completed at your own free time regularly. For me, I have prepared a Matrix/Table guide posted on the side of my computer to remind me of the activities that I should be performing within each week.

Actually, I have writer an article about it at Associated Content.com . As I cannot copy and paste that entire article here at myLot, I would be happy to give you the link: www.associatedcontent.com....

happyhello getbrowser,

that reminds meglare, it's been months since i last cleaned my computer. No wonder my power supplies fan isn't working that much anymore because of the clogged dirt in the fan. but my brother told me that i should just get a replacement since it may have short circuit. unfortunately i don't have the money now. but cleaning the computer, maybe i can try it next month.happy

First of all, there is the obvious. Don't let any liquid get into the inner parts. You can use a dry cleaner like what is used to clean or lubricate locks and keys, I think. Its best to consult with a computer technician about this but make sure you don't allow him to do the job for you. He will end up doing a simple job that you can do yourself for a good price that you don't really have to spend. Learn how to do it and do the job on your own and save your money. Also, this now occurs to me, you can check on the net for informnation on cleaning computers. It must be there somewhere - I'm sure.

go to my computer onc there you will see c drive right clcik go to protties. spelled that wrong. but then you go disc clean up. click there and will get rid of old stuff you dont need.
also go to lava soft (add wear) its free down load as well spy bot (free too)
also if you have xp go to start then go to run type in msconfig another window will open go to start up you can disable all except your virus scan then exit with rebooting once you reboot an windown will open just click dont show me again then ok.
also do what the first said to do. start control panle then internet option look for delete cookies and history. well you are in that area look for history and make sure its set to 1 day not 20 days. this is how long your temp files are saved when you search the net

Download a good antivirus, you can buy one or get a free one on the internet. Then download Spybot Search and Destroy, it is also free. Update it every few days and run a scan. Same with Malware Byte, also free. Keep updating regularly and scanning. Stay away from PTC sites. Your computer should stay healthy. And never open attachments!

Using computer is a good habit in this technology age. Because computer has become a part of everyone's life, we should take care of it once we got it.

The following steps can be useful for you to make your computer run faster:

1. Clean unnecessary files on you computer
By doing this, you will make your computer run more faster than before. You will need a program called " CCleaner". It is a free program. You can search for it on Google.

2. Remove start-up program
Start-up programs can be a cause which makes your computer slow, so you have to remove some program from your start-up list. You can also do this with CCleaner.

3.Scan your computer for viruses

Your computer can be slow when it's infected by viruses, so you have to make a complete scan with an up-to-date anti-virus program such as AVG, KIS, Norton..etc.

for clean your after use your computer from starting means after formatting use a best antivirus for your system and upgrade your ram and hdd for more speed. but any type of antivirus you use is make your system some slow from it's actual speed. just like 25% of any speed. i use my computer without antivirus and my computer works very fluently so i prefer no antivirus. have a nice day dude.

Hi you can start by warding off all the dust on your computer and its parts.Then you can proceed by first cleaning your key board and see if you have time to remove all keys and wash them.If you can, wash all the keys and keep them aside for drying,meanwhile till it gets dry do the cleaning of other things like speakers,woofers,CPU i mean the mother board,be care full while cleaning and clean everything with a dry clean cloth,do not use water for cleaning any parts except keys.You can also use a small tooth brush to remove dust in a better way.And make sure that you do not let any hair strands near computer,because sometimes it may get in somewhere and cause some struck in computer.
