(to clean all windows temp files, ie files, logs, stuff you just dont want, ect. on the cleaner tab/button make sure everything is checked EXCEPT: Desktop Shortcuts, Custom Files and Folders, and Wipe Free Space. When it asks you if you are sure, hit yes and then RUN
CLEANER. To clean the registry(lol a noob cleaner program in CCleaner), click the registry button/tab and click SCAN FOR ISSUES, if/when it finds errors click FIX SELECTED ISSUES, and hit yes to save a backup somewhere safe[if anything goes wrong after this you can double click this file to undo what you do here] and then fix issues. You can also hit the TOOLS tab/button then go to STARTUP, and highlight the startup program that you dont want or need[this will make your computer start up faster] and hit disable.

Warning!!! With Regseeker: Deleting any entries that have LEGACY or OBSELETE SOFTWARE may bluescreen your computer. Go through and delete all entries EXCEPT those. And remember, delete registry entries at your own risk.

Program your own Anti Virus, That is what i did and I have not had any problems since, Check out the videos I posted of a home made DIY PC security suite

[chiefjoboo]

@CreatorXCode not there yet : )

[chiefjoboo]

new way to defrag-on defraggler, defrag, then defrag free space; then use windows defrag (start, all programs, accessories, system tools, disk defragmenter.) this is the best way to defrag and organize boot files.

[plz1687]

just get kaspersky internet securty

way better :) and u dont have to scan

it scanning all the time.

[chiefjoboo]

@plz1687 avira does that too

[gameoflordfuckerhalo]

Wow, antivira's Bullshit.

[budyourherbs420]

thanks your one of the few that really cuts the bullshit

[Goldenfury12]

I like using tune up utilities. I know it's a paid program but it works great

[realtechreal]

Speed up your computer by:

-- cleaning system junk

-- optimizing computer services

-- optimizing internet

-- repairing registry

-- defraging registry

-- clearing browsers junk

do these things with some secure tool such as Intel Software Partner Reginout.

Ur computer sounds like it's struggling o_O

[RPpeSu]

avira xus avg rulzz!

[keegmister3]

i think this is the only video that doesnt lag on 1080p

[holwerdainc]

your computer fan sounds like it is laboring pretty hard and running pretty loud; especially for a tutorial about how to free up your computer

[IReallyAmIronMan]

the transcribe audio is hilarious in this vid.

[MrQarsim]

AVG are you serious? Haha

I seriously prefer Avavst Home over any of the paid for AV programs, sure they might give you a slightly high level of real time protection but that comes at a cost.

I understand why you named the video like you did but you actually just listed a complete system suite. AV+Spyware cleaner+System cleaner=Awesome.

Hope you don't mind me adding that this video just shows the tools but for the "newbs" video doesn't explain so well what the tools are. Great vid though
