If your PC is bogged down with useless software and your desktop is jammed with icons and documents, then your PC is next to useless as a productivity tool. Even scarier is the increased likelihood that if you have lost track of your files, you could easily have sensitive personal information exposed without your knowledge.
Begin by emptying your trash, since these unwanted files are still taking up valuable space on your hard drive, then follow these tips for a cleaner, faster machine:
If you need help identifying problems with your computer, try McAfee TechCheck, a free diagnostic tool that quickly scans your PC to pinpoint possible problems with your operating system, network, applications, hardware, or peripherals.
If you want help maintaining your computer or have more serious issues, check out McAfee TechMaster service, which can rescue an ailing PC or help you set up and optimize a new computer or smartphone. They can also help you set up, troubleshoot, and protect monitors, printers, and other peripherals as well as help you set up a home wireless network—all from the comfort of your home! And McAfee TechMaster is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
So before the summer rolls around, make sure you finish this last bit of spring cleaning.
