One Way To Speed Up Your Computer - Use This Free Software
September 2006
If you've been running your computer for at least a year chances are that the Windows Registry is semi corrupted with all sorts of excess and unused code. The Windows Registry is a database that holds all the settings Windows needs to function.
Running the free software CCleaner can sort out many problems and speed up your PC .
What does CCleaner Do
It cleans your computer of unwarranted and unneeded files including –
- Internet Explorer – Temp files, history, cookies etc
- Firefox – Same as above
- Opera – Same as above
- Windows – Temporary and log files
- Windows Registry – Removes unused and old entries which is often the reason why so many computers run slow
You can read some reviews on the software and download it here www.ccleaner.com
Summary
Often a very good rule for running a computer is ‘if it’s not broke don’t try and fix it’. Basically, if things are running well and you don’t notice any problems then install new programs and/or software patches at your peril.
We actually go along with this rule unless you’re comfortable with computers and know your way around. If this is the case then consider downloading CCleaner because we find it a really useful tool.
