Removing Spyware. Use cCleaner First

March 8th, 2010 Posted in blog

cCleaner is a pro­gram I install on nearly every com­puter I touch. It’s not only good for main­tain­ing a com­puter and opti­miz­ing it, but it can also speed up the spyware/virus removal process.

You “Tem­po­rary Inter­net Files” folder can blow up fast. Most com­put­ers have about 1GB3GB of these use­less files on their com­puter, and cCleaner will delete them safely and reclaim your space. Spyware/virus scan­ners can spend lots of times comb­ing through these use­less files which drags out the removal process, so run­ning cCleaner at the begin­ning is a must. Another ben­e­fit to run­ning cCleaner first, is that it will remove spy­ware files that orig­i­nate from the “Tem­po­rary Inter­net Files” folder as well.

cCleaner also has am excel­lent reg­istry cleaner, and a util­ity to allows you to dis­able and delete startup tasks. Enjoy the video, and please post com­ments and questions.
