the way i do it, is first off delete stuff i don't need, uninstall programs i don't use anymore, then do a disk cleanup.. then a defrag.. and if that still aint much help, go into msconfig, and disable programs you don't need running

Mate, that virus's and spyware that you catch from porn sites is impossible to get rid of fully. It might go for a week or something but then it'll be back. It would be better if you reformatted the whole thing, if she has any important data, back that up first and reformat it.

Just reformat the computer, but have it keep all the files on your hard drive, then go back in and delete the crap.

Well... If you got caught for watching child pornography and warez or something on your comp, and the cops gonna get your harddrive. The best thing to do is ZERO it. You can google it, because I forgot the program. But it turns all your harddrive data to 0's, so annnnnnny thing at all that was in the harddrive, is permentantly deleted.

Just one gig?

Usually by the end of a cleanup session, i've gained 10 gigs.

Haha @ E.Z. I was talking about warez in your computer too.


And Decoy, my Disk Cleanup never works. It gets stuck in the middle......... I waited like 13 hours once and it was still in the middle. It does that all the time.

^^my comp sometimes freezes like that too.. or the defrag gets to like 90% and then it says the rest can't be finished..
