Give it a damn good scrub with some carbolic soap

[DEEJAYKEG]

For getting rid of the crap, I use CCleaner, available free from http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

 

For keeping the registry healthy, checking file system integrity etc etc, I use TuneUp Utilities - free to try then purchase required:  http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/

What operating system we talking about Mikey, i'm using win7 and my paths stop short of all these..ie in control panel i don't have a folder options facility, i also don't get the "temp" option" or the "preftech" option

I use a air compressor and just blow it out , works for me lol

Ccleaner is what I use and it has a registry cleanr built in with it as well as a uninstaller for pesty apps also Malwarebytes for rouge malware/adware....I would also like to mention Gamebooster v.2 and as always Avg2011....

 

These all I have used for years now and besides her needing a blow job every so often they have always worked very well for me

ICAAN (Internet governing body) is planning to clean out the entire World Wide Web sometime next spring by delivering an electronic surge that will push dust and other debris through the lines and out the backs of power supplies/keyboards, etc. connected to your computers. This will not only clean the Web, but also your home systems. Users are advised to put large plastic garbage bags around their systems to collect the dust. 

This should speed things up considerably.

I believe that CCleaner will do all of this for you automatically, including the option to delete the prefectch data.  It works pretty well.  I also use Glary Utilities, which you can fine on the CNet downloads.  It has a one button tune up, which cleans registry and deletes temp files, etc.  It is pretty good.

[ROCKAPE]

I followed all your steps mikey ...many thanks for your input.

[MoeBetta]

I use CCcleaner as well, works good
