(computer) Is it possible to hire a professional to clean up my computer?
Okay, so I’ve been meaning to schedule defrags, scans, get rid of all these unnecessary programs and stuff like that, but I don’t have time! Would a professional –at where?– do it for me? A laptop is easy to bring in.
I don’t CARE how much it costs! My computer is a absolute mess. I have things saved all over the place and phantom programs, and argh, I’d rather pay 50 bucks for someone else to do it. Okay, thanks!

Hi,
I think you should try to do this by yourself. Honestly, It’s not worth to spend money for the things yo can do it yourself. I’ll will show you how…
1) Go to Control panel –> click add or remove programs icon
you can remove any unwanted programs here OR
2) Click "Start menu"–>"Programs"—>Find the programs you don’t want and locate uninstall within the menu
You could also try to do system maintenance yourself:
1) Start Menu–>Settings–>Taskbar and Start Menu–>Start Menu Bar–>Classic Start Menu–>Customize
2) Start Menu–>Settings–>Control Panel–>Internet Options–>Delete Cookies, Delete Files & Clear History
Take it to a major computer store where they have their own engineers there and ask if they have a service that’s appropriate for your needs
It’s really not worth it in my opinion but I suppose if you really are THAT short on time I think they could, just look in your local yellow pages for a computer repair shop
If you could find some time yourself I would recommend getting Spybot Search and Destroy free at

you want to spend 60 - 100 $$$ to have someone defrag your laptop???
you just tell it to defrag and go do something else
Yes, any computing store in your area will be able to run a simple cleanup and diagnostic. It’s quite common - i worked in a computer shop for a week, and that’s practically all we did.
If you don’t know of any computer stores, best buy can do it, so can compusa and your local fry’s superstore. Or basically any store that sells computers.
