   Both my husband and I have our own computers.

   He cleans them up once a week.

   I clean my Internet options every night when I shut down,

   I only take a few seconds.

   I have tried a lot of registry cleaner and found that the free program ccleaner does the best job.

   Since I am not familiar with this term, I assume it is something
   in addition to the normal deleting of cookies and browsing
   history, defragging and adware checks. Or possibly you can
   edit to describe what this term refers to.
   I believe more than a few of us would like to know.

   I have regclean. Is that the same. if so, yes I have. But if it makes things faster, I haven’t paid attention to it.

   Once a week defrag. And every second day a virus check.

   Yes, I have. I downloaded this particular registry cleaner and do it about once a month now.

    Yes . I’ve used them but right now having a problem with that i-tunes. While installing the quick time I ended up with a buffer overrun which has been a really big pain. I wish the kids would ask for a big stereo system honestly !

    I use Yahoo for my home page and the upper right corner has a little " if you click on it then click on tools and it will clean a bunch of it. I also have regcure and then you can clean and defrag in your accessories area of your start all programs.
    For cookies remaining and erased E mail ask for them under the ?–it will show you where they are nested and you can clean them out. Nothing goes away with one cleaning.

    Look for the free download from AUSLOGICS

    It really does make a difference if you use applications like this to clean and speed up your computer (especially defragging). You should do it about once a week.

    I use Spring Cleaning to clean up my Mac. It cleans up useless files, defragments, and looks for empty files.

    Once per week. I do use a Windows & Internet Cleaner every night, and always defrag each night.

    I don’t know what that is. It sounds like something used to clean the heat vents in the house. I better check back later!

    Yes, often programs that get uninstalled do not remove all their registry entries causing the registry to grow in size further reducing performance of your machine.

    I like to use Registry Mechanic.

    Yes, I use registry cleaner. After a year or more I reformat.
    Regular degrag and daily deleting cookies and temporary files will keep it tuned up.
