How can I clean up my computer for free?

July 20, 2009

I already have Crap Cleaner, but my computer still runs pretty slow, is there any way to clean out any viruses or spyware (mine expired so I’m basically defenseless) for free? I would really like for my PC to run like it used to, any suggestions?

Will my computer get cleaned up if i reinstall windows xp?

well i have many viruses and stuff on my computer and it is really really slow. i wanted to reinstall xp to clean up my computer and start all over, but i heard that when you reinstall it, the viruses and stuff stay on. is that true? or does everything restore to the defaults from when i first got it?

Why does my computer keep freezing?

It works perfectly in safe mode and on a diagnostic start up configuration however when I put it on normal start up mode it freezes shortly after I try to open a program, I have scanned the computer multiple times for viruses but nothing has come up, I haven’t installed any hardware or software to my knowledge either.

how do you cancell out fake windiws error prompts that download malware?

in my experience in computing i found that there are viruses (in this case malware) that make your system show a fake windos error prompt (usually telling you that there is spyware or viruses in the computer although there isn't) and that you need to download the offered software (in which i find suspicous windows doesn't just offer free software through an error prompt for free) and i also found out that if you try to click don't install is triggers virus installation and if you click the X in the corner it will also trigger a virus installation

it downloads rogue software that automatically installs itself into your comuter (it is malware that disquises itself as a spyware protection program, virus protection program, or a registry cleaner) and acts as it is scanning your system and shows fake threats and says that if you want to get rid of them you have to buy there product.

how do you cancell these you whenever you encounter a promt that seems like it will download one
