Computer service

[A//// Guy]

I turn on and off a couple times day... mostly just turn on when I use it for a few hours and turn it off after.

Leaving you computer on for long amounts of time eats up memory and slows the machine down. You should shut it down every couple days or so.

Windows has a new spyware checker out now that is supposedly beta but works very well. You can get it off their site. I have been using spybot and spysweeper, and they work pretty well.

I never defrag or do any "cleanup." All my crap is organized though...

You can get rid off cookies and all temp files every now and then as they slow your computer down over time.
