Use Revo Uninstaller instead of Window's default uninstaller. You can also uninstall programs on CCleaner.

After uninstalling a program(s), use Autoruns to revome or disable unnecessary startup drivers. You may also find some hidden malware on the way. If you're unsure of yourself, right-click the file and use the search feature. You can also remove some of your startup drivers via Windows Defender.

Thankyou!

I also noticed that after I cleaned my computer, it has gotten faster. LoL loads faster for me, and I don't get the usual 2-3minute unplayable lag at the beginning of every game.

No problem!

Try to come up with a weekly routine to help keep your computer healthy.

I ran CCleaner. And it said it removed 9,800 MB of files. @_@ Isn't that 9GB???

I HAD 9GB OF FILES RUNNING AROUND ON MY COMPUTER DOING NOTHING!? @@

Are you sure you read that correctly? CCleaner displays the information to two significant digits (just rant it to check):

ANALYSIS COMPLETE - (7.103 secs)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.24 MB to be removed. (Approximate size)

Are you sure that wasn't 98.00MB? Because even that seems like quite a bit...I can't even imagine having 9GB of junk laying around.

whay kind of files does CCleaner cleans? coz 4mb isn't a lot... (in terms of memory space..)

**Hraesvelg** · 12-11-2009, 12:54 AM

Yeah, I clean mine out weekly, plus I didn't include the Firefox cookies/files in the search because I didn't want to close it. I don't have a lot of junk sitting around, but still...9GB? Holy hell.

Er.... Unless there's a history log, I can't check. x)

CCleaner cleans temporary files that build up over time and cause programs to run slower. CCleaner will let you know what it cleans and doesn't clean on a list to the left. You will not see dramatic changes in speed but rather how fast your programs start. If you want a somewhat faster system without upgrading your hardware, remove unnecessary startup drivers and check for malware.

You can also add virtual memory.

Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > (under
performance) Settings > Advanced > (under virtual memory) Change >

Initial Size (MB): 4096
Maximum Size (MB): 4096

Don't forget to click "Set" and restart your system.
