Computer Clean-up

I was checking online and i saw this website that offered to clean-up my pc for free. I was skeptical to use it but I was wondering, is there someplace online that offers computer clean-up for free. ( I had aol but now i have comcast and i have yet to install it on my computer but i just wanted to clean up any files that may be corrupt or making my computer stall)

    I don't think I would trust what you found online. You can do a pretty good job by doing it yourself manually. Go to... Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Cleanup. You might want to defrag the drive also. Symantec's Norton Clean Sweep works well also if you prefer an automated way.

    You probably want to remove any unnessacary software via add remove programs in the control panel.

    sheariep,

    I use the free CleanUp! software.

    * Install and run the CleanUp! software which will clean the system
    * On the left click Downloads
    * Scroll down and click the latest CleanUp.exe file. Tonite it is CleanUp! 4.5.1
    * Click CleanUp451.exe
    * Click Run and follow the prompts
    * Once installed, click Start- All Programs- CleanUp!- CleanUp!
    * Click Options
    * Check everything except for "Favorite Places/Bookmarks
    * Click OK
    * Click Cleanup!
    * Click No
    * Click Close

    Old files that may be slowing down my computer. Everytime i turned on my computer i get a " Error running EDGDLL_" error message. I was trying to get rid of it.

    letting a program to clean old files is a bad idea.... it may delete something that you may need in the future... anyways..... do you still get that error?

    Yes...this is the message...
     
    Error loading EGDAACCESS_1056.dll
     
    The specified module could not be found.
     
    Then it has the "OK" button.
     
    I have been getting this message for some time, and i have know idea what it means.

    Wed, July 20, 2005 10:10 AM If the spyware and trojan proggies came up with nothing and you are using IconPackager version 3.xx, then try this and see if unregistering the iprepair.dll fixes it:

    Start> Run> type in: regsvr32.exe /u "c:\program files\stardock\object desktop\iconpackager\iprepair.dll"
