How to clean your PC and get back up to speed
Just like a car, every so often your PC needs a tune-up – especially if you use the internet a lot. Over time, your PC can collect a lot of information it doesn’t necessarily need and save it all over your hard drive.
The consequence? Your PC starts to become sluggish. A regular clean-up
will go a long way to keeping your PC up-to-speed. It’s a good idea to make it a habit – why not mark a monthly reminder in your diary now?
Here’s how we recommend you go about it:
1. Delete your cookies
Cookies are bits of information stored on your PC at the request
of some web sites. They’re often used when it’s beneficial for the site to remember something about you – like your login name or preferred delivery method when using online shopping.
Sometimes sites will store cookies for tracking purposes; because you’ve already visited the site, they might show different information. Some use it to efficiently promote goods and services by tracking what advertising you’ve seen already, and which ones you’ve responded to.
More information about cookies and how to delete them
2. Clear your cache
Cache is like a short-term memory for your internet browser.
It’s designed to make pages load faster by saving elements that rarely change, like the menu and logo graphic, to your PC. Instead of having to download them every time, your PC can call upon the locally-stored versions.
But most caches aren’t clever, and over time, you can collect many files from sites you don’t frequently visit. Not only does this take up space on your PC, it makes it harder to find the files of the sites you do regularly visit.
More information about cache and how to clear it
3. Eliminate adware and spyware
Adware and spyware are types of programs that hide in your computer
and collect information about what sites you’re viewing, usually to display unwanted advertising.
Spyware and adware creators often trick unsuspecting users to install
their software – this may include attaching it to legitimate links on web sites, including it when you download freeware or shareware software or when you open a funny email attachment. It’s usually not damaging enough for anti-virus software to identify, and because you’re often tricked into thinking it’s legitimate, it can sneak past your firewall.

4. Defragment your hard drive
Over time your PC’s hard drive can become disorganised as you save and resave information. And, just like you’d spend longer finding anything in a messy room, your hard drive becomes inefficient at finding the files your PC requests.
A hard disk defragmenter utility assesses the content of your hard drive
and rearranges it to make finding related information more efficient.
It also groups the free space so saving information in the future is more
effective.
