Can anyone tell me how to clean my computer, to where it will work good, without having to carry it to a shop!?

I try and get on Facebook, and when I do, I cannot read the post, it just keeps saying "Not Responding" at the top of the page.. Help, please!!

    Someone else mentioned CCleaner, which is another must have.

    Here's a list of my 'must haves' (all free)

    Spybot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org)/

    Malware Bytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org)/

    HiJack This (see what stuff is hijacking your internet and computer) (http://sourceforge.net/projects/hjt/)

    Ad Aware by Lavasoft (for virus and malware) http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

    And finally, a good free anti virus (only use 1, it's not good to have multiple anti-virus programs on your comp)

    AVG (I personally use this) (http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage)

    Avira (another good one) (http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus)

    And on an off note, a program I can't live without (also free): Unlocker Assistant

    (for those times when you try to delete a file, and it's mysteriously "in use" even though you KNOW it's not.)

    Get a toothbrush, Clean the dust inside the CPU. and also clean the fan.. a dirty computer can slow your computer. You have to do it atleast once in like every 3 months... make sure to clean the fan too. and it could be a problem of your Windows too. maybe its too lag? download Tuneup utilities, it will help defrag and fix bugs and issues in your pc.
