general pc maintanence

[barrowmanandrew]

i used to use norton 360.
on this you could go into mainanence and clear tempory files, cookies that sort of thing.
i now use vermins free security centre.
doesn't seem to be an option to this stuff anymore.
q. should i be using something else to do this????
reason i'm asking,
just recently, i've noticed some pages taking longer than usual to load, particularly pages with video links....

[maca]

just download this m8 CCleaner - Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download keeps stuff nice and tidy

[thewizardofodds]

or set firefox to delete all temp files every time you restart.

[barrowmanandrew]

thanks guys, have done both,
the cleaner has deleted 1.2 gig of stuff
hope it was all junk
confirmed much better, pages loading up instantly now...
thanks again...

[maca]

it will be m8

[thewizardofodds]

you can set ccleaner to run on start up . takes a few seconds to clean everything but gets rid of all the crap before you start.
For safety I dont save cookies, passwords etc so use both ccleaner and also set firefox not to save any passwords etc as well as deleting cokies etc on every boot

[barrowmanandrew]

i use an add on on firefox that saves all my usernames/passwords etc.
i like my passwords etc saved so i don't have to type them back in (lazy ~~~~er )
to be honest im not to worried about security...
if i set c cleaner to do that will it clear them?

[maca]

yes m8 it clear all passwords

[thewizardofodds]

you can set ccleaner to save certain things and delete others

[barrowmanandrew]

~~~~ it,
i'll just run it manually maybe once a week or so....
or just wait till the computer grinds to a halt and junk files start falling out the side of it...

andrew once a week is fine m8
