There are a few key methods that are needed to repair computer errors and increase performance.
Cleaning out the clog. As you use your computer there are always files that are left on your computer even when uninstalling programs. Delete any files that you rarely use or even really need. Often times people will download a lot of media files such as songs, videos, pictures, etc. and will leave most of them on their hard drive never to be looked at again. Also delete other types of files you don't use even text files. Even though text files are small in size they are still clogging your system so get rid of unnecessary ones. Empty out your Recycle bin, temporary internet files folder and any other temp files folders that you may have.
Getting rid of malicious software. Be sure to always run your anti virus, spyware, malware scanners while in safe mode. When running your operating system in safe mode only the bare minimum programs and services are used so most viruses can't run in safe mode. This will enable you to be able to delete them. Remember you can't delete files that are in use. This is the reason why you run scans while in safe mode. If there's an infection you can't seem to get rid of. Try running a search on Google about it. I've been doing this for years and have been able to get rid of the toughest viruses that are out.
Organizing your computer's own system of filing files. As you use files and programs your computer's filing system gets cluttered and unorganized. When this happens it takes longer to load files and programs. Which you need to do is defragment your computer. Most operating system's have a defragmenter tool in their system's category of tools to use. So be sure to defragment your hard drives at least once a month. If you use the computer as much as I do then I recommend at least twice a month.
