Basic Maintenance for computers

1.Clean files:
First of all you need to delete all your trash, temp files, and files you no longer need. Because it occupy the memory space wastely. For doing this, go to
Start > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
Select the drive you want to clean. When it has finished, select the items that you no longer want.

2.Remove unwanted startup items:
Some unwanted items may found in your Pc. If you have unwanted items with window it will slow down your system so it mush have to removed.
To remove this, do the following,
Start Menu > Programs > Startup.
You will find programs in this folder, just delete the ones you do not want to start with windows.Then move on to the following:
Start Menu > Run > Type in: msconfig.exe [Enter] Click the Startup tab and uncheck any items you don’t want to startup.

3.Remove unwanted applications:
To Remove unwanted applications as they can overtime slow your system down. You cannot uninstall an application by

just deleting files. Do the following to remove them:
Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. Here you can remove all programs that you do not need or want anymore. Select the application and click the remove button. This will uninstall the selected application.
4.Clean and Defrag your registry:
With time your registry becomes fragmented and bloated with obsolete and invalid data that causes errors slowdowns and freezing of your system. Windows will try to load things that do not exist any more because of invalid registry entries so it then slows down your system leads to errors. Use Advanced Registry Optimizer. Select all 3 of the programs options and run them. Be sure to make a backup, just in case of a problem.
5.Scan for adware and spyware:
In general, you do not want anything that relates to these topics on your computer. Adware is basically ads that can be found in programs or on websites. This adware selectively installs tracking software which is called spyware. This software runs behind the scenes and sends information to home. It is constantly using your memory, hard drive space and even your internet connection! Spyware has been known to stop browsers from working and even rendering a computer useless.


6.Scan for viruses:
Sometimes some virus may get through your Pc by anyway like by using pendrive.The virus easily spoil your Pc. So that must be removed .use any anti-virus to check your system regularly.


7.Defragment your hard drives:
Your computer writes to the first available area on your hard drive. Then over time your files start to be rearranged on your hard disk or fragmented as most will say. When your hard drive is fragmented and you try to load a program it may have to get one file from the inside of the hard drive, one file from the middle, then maybe one from the outside. This will cause a
slower running system. When defragment your hard drive it tries to put the files back in order by organizing them in similar groups. That way the hard drive is hunting all over looking for them and that speeds up your system. Do the following:
Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter/Check Now.
Select the drive you want to defragment. When it is done you can close the window or select another drive to defragment.


8.Clean your computer case:
Dust is a problem that affects everyone no matter where you live and even more if you live in a area where the dust is bad. If you have not cleaned the inside of your computer case in 6 months or longer than you need to get right on it. Dust build
up is the number 1 computer killer/ problem causer in my humble opinion. Buy yourself a can of compressed air. Buy a 1 inch paintbrush for brushing off things.
