How to clean your PC

[Slash003]

First identify the troublesome process in taskmanager or an alternative process viewing program which can be identified easily if they are hogging system resources or if there are tons of copies of it.

Second Research ways to kill it on someplace like Malwaretips (what i use) ex : http://malwaretips.com/blogs/dllhost-exe-32-com-surrogate-removal/(the bitch of a virus I removed from my brother's computer)

Third: follow the steps on there

Fourth: Install a different virus program other then microsoft security essentials or norton. I recommend avast to check on and block later threats.

Fifth: Run your new virus program to make sure nothing is left.

Sixth: Enjoy your virus free computer and be smart about browsing and downloading.

My goto for PC clean up is running Malwarebytes and CCleaner.  I run those bi-weekly and haven't had a problem since I started doing so.

I use Malwarebytes and a virus scanner to prevent crap from hogging up my system

step 1. remove all your component rebuild your pc but this time do some cable management

step 2. clean install

step 3. eat poundcake

Make sure you don't have the two anti-virus or scanning utilities actively running concurrently. Having two anti-malware programs running at the same time can cause instability between the two, and more insecurity than using McAfee.

Dude, you don't need to do it that often.  I do it every 6 months, and it works great.

You are right I don't have to, but it takes less than 10 minutes and it's not hurting anything.

I agree with Ganz. I do it probably daily. Just because I'm a neat-freak like that though. It takes literally 1 second to click the clean button or whatever. Who cares. Won't hurt the system?

[Brandon Cassie]

Thought you would've gone on about hardware components

Since this is satire, It belongs in off topic, not tutorials.

The first part is satire, but the second part is legitimate

Thanks did all the steps on my friends computer, he says its working fine but, it keeps on blowing bubbles out the fan every so often, is there anyway to fix that ? 

 

EDIT: we also decided to use McAfee antivirus instead of avast do you think that is why its blowing bubbles?

Yes, McAfee is known for bubbles.

 

Don't get Norton/Symantec. The computer will just throw out.

Meanwhile I have no antivirus or windows updates and my PC is running flawlessly. Except for my broken motherboard.

Aww okay its lucky because we was going to get Norton too, the bubbles seem to have calmed down over last couple days, so i took through the car wash again, it seemed to be running much better after the car wash, so i guess when i need to wash my car i will just bring my desktop along too

Glary Utilities is also good at cleanup!
