Clean out TEMPORARY FILES procedures:
To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this free tool:
CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp Install Options: - Don't install any Toolbars, or other programs, should it ask you!
- Just uncheck the option of installing the Yahoo toolbar.
It will put a shortcut on your Desktop.
Do not run CCleaner until requested later.
Run
CCleaner in SAFE MODE (reboot tapping the F8 key after the beep).
Select the
‘Options’ BUTTON option (top LEFT),
‘Advanced’ BUTTON, and then UNCHECK the
‘Only delete files in Windows Temp Folders older than 48 hours’ (often, the latest download traffic could be the bearer of bad content).
Select the
‘Cleaner’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), if not already selected. Use the
’Windows’ TAB up front by default.
- Uncheck ‘Cookies’ option (advisable)
- Optionally, Uncheck ‘Recently Typed URLs’ option (potentially still useful)
- Click the ‘Analyse’ button.
- Thereafter, click ‘Run Cleaner’ after you have reviewed what it proposes to clean.
REBOOT into NORMAL MODE.
