Clean Your Computer

Is your computer running so slow now compared to when you have just bought it? Yes? Then don't get frustrated any more.

I'll be featuring some programs that could help you with PC problems. I'll be including a how-to guide from configuring to using them..

And to start it off.. Let me introduce this trust-worthy program I've been using for the past years that has helped me a lot from simply cleaning up and removing junk from my computer to worse cases like cleaning a virus infections that my anti-virus have failed to block or removed.

Piriform's CCleaner

1. Download and install CCleaner from Piriform's Website.

2. Once, installed, run the program. But do not just skip the next few steps.

3. Click Options, then Advanved.

4. Uncheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 24 hours".

5. Now go to "Cleaner" (an icon with a broom).

6. Under "Windows", make sure everything is checked except for the last one, which is "Wipe Free Space".

7. You will receive notifications on some of the options but just accept them.

8. Under "Applications" tab, do the same thing, make sure everything is checked.

9. Now on the bottom right, click "Run Cleaner"

10. You will then see a progress bar on the top. When it is done, see how much space junk files are using in your hard drive. Don't be shocked if it reaches more than 1GB!

11. Now click "Registry" (an icon with building blocks).

12. This is the Registry Cleaner. Make sure everything is checked.

13. Click "Scan for Issues" and wait for the progress bar to reach 100%

14. Once it's done, you will notice the button "Fix selected issues..." lit up and available now. Click it.

15. You will be asked if you wanna create a backup for your registry.

16. For me, it's not necessary for these registry files aren't used anymore. Your computer will regenerate them again anyway if you access something that doesn't have a corresponding registry. But still, it's up to you.

17. It will then ask you again if you again what to do with the registry files that were found to have errors.
18. Just click "Fix All Selected Issues"

19. It will then delete these errors from your system registry.

20. Once done, try running the Registry Cleaner again for a couple of times more.

21. Sometimes, you will notice that there are still registry errors after cleaning up. Why is this so? Because some registry entries refer to another registry entry or file that creates a registry entry. After 2-3 cycles, you'll have a completely clean registry.

22. Now you're done! Try restarting your computer and see it speed up a bit.

23. For a more advanced cleaning up, just message me or leave it on the comments. I will guide you through it step by step.
