Keep Computer Clean


MODinsane

Recommended Posts

Cleaning your computer of unused programs and files will not only help your game play due to more memory usage by the game and not some program you don't use anymore, but it will generally speed up your computer in its day to day routines I would highly recommend doing this on at least a monthly basis. (That's what I do, you'd be surprised the amount of "junk" files you can accumulate in such a short period of time.) If you do, you should definitely see a major difference in the speed and performance of your computer.

1. CCleaner - clean registry and memory

 

2. Spybot S&D + SpywareBlaster < Use immunization on both

 

3. AntiVir free

 

4. Defrag once every 2 months or as needed

 

5. if you download free software, READ and UNTICK all the boxes of "free" bulls*** they include with their software. thats the s*** that really bogs down your system

 

6. Start > Run > Msconfig > Startup > UNTICK everything you don't need running 24/7

 

7. Services > Google > Set as many to Manual (or with caution, Disabled) as you can. Look them up in google first though or you'll break your PC. Lengthy process but worth it and will remain in effect until reinstall dows

 

8. Uninstall all programs you don't use, as said already. Be wary of installing things, all things. Less installed - better PC. That's not a solid principal but unfortunately it tends to prove true in practice.

 

9. Update programs from 1 - 3 regularly and reimmunize/scan/defrag

 

thats my guide to keeping a clean PC. ive been self servicing my systems since i was about 10. doesnt matter anymore now i have i5 4.5ghz and GTX 580 3gb but i still do it all :smile:

I would like to add one other, only allow your most need programs to auto start. For instance I have half a dozen cloud based programs, Skype, and instant messaging programs that I do not allow to load at startup. Keep everything to a minimum. Use CCleaner to get rid of unused registry entries. My only exception Malwarebytes which I always load so I won't forget it when I search the internet.
