System Maintanence (Recommended Tools)

Maintaining your system is just as important as maintaining a car.

I won't write an entire blog on how often or what you should do. I don't see the point in that as there are plenty of guides on the internet already for that.

Here is a few tools I do recommend:

  1. Microsoft Windows Users - Visit to learn more about general windows maintenance !

    - You may have to navigate around MS in order to find your OS (Operating System)
  2. CCleaner (Freeware) - Highly Recommended ! "CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :) ", Thanks to Gareth Abbott for Providing a link !
  3. Registry Cleaner (Payware) - I personally love this. Not to be run every day, but if you run it every 7 days (it has a reminder feature), then you will find that your system operates well and you will see less error messages. Visit the link to learn more.
  4. Spybot (Freeware) - "Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications." ... plus much more ! Visit the link to learn more.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: When installing Spybot I do not recommend the use of both SDHelper and TeaTimer. So make sure to untick the boxes otherwise you'll find your system becomes very slow!
