Clean it up!
I want to clean up my computer. I know it's filled with viruses and spyware and all that crap, but I want an inexpensive way of doing this. And I have a bunch of stuff saved on my computer so I don't want to loose it. I know my computers not overloaded but I'm started to get pop - ups and stuff so does anyone know how to clean it up? I'm kind of scared to delete certain stuff. Any advice?

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
First, go into your control panel and select add/remove programs, then uninstall all programs you dont want. Then download these two programs:

They work great, they clean all adware, spyware, etc. But beware: With crap cleaner it will remove all of your internet cach and saved form info. This means all of your history, saved passwords, saved usernames, etc. from the internet will be lost. Jot them down ahead of time if you need those.

That's easy. First to get out all the junky programs that somehow ended up on your computer, go to start>>my computer>>add or remove programs
there should be a list of all the programs on your computer. uninstall everything you don't want. After that, download Ad-aware (it's free) and scan your computer for spyware and viruses and delete all of the stuff it finds. (it wont find any of the stuff you want to keep). That's basically it! I also suggest scanning your computer with ad-aware like everyone 1 or 2 weeks.

You can always just reboot your whole computer.. Have your files you want saved onto a disk or email them to yourself, easiest way to do it instead of just downloading more stuff and adding to the mess.

Well you could clean your computer by deleting internet files. You go to start, you press programs. You press accessories, and then you press system tools and lastly press disk cleanup.

Download Ad-Aware, it's free:

Make sure to update the definitions and then run it. That should help get rid of a lot of the spyware.
Also, if you have an anti-virus program, make sure you update the virus definitions and then run it.
If you don't have a program, you can get free virus scans at TrendMicro:

I use them all the time.
Good Luck.
