    Re: cleaning the computer

    download CC Cleaner, just untick clear history file on your mozilla or internet explorer (which ever is important) which I didn't do and cost me lots of precious data loss ie passwords, usernames, links. Or get the PC booster by Uni Blue which are available widely on youtube for free(crack)

    Now you must know that I have no idea what that means.. let's put it this way every time one of my puters is on its last breath .. I complain to my bro.. I get a new one with everything including all my old files installed.. May Allah swt bless him and keep him from harm.. but that is the reality of it.. I just don't want to bug him so soon, this one I have had for a year and was deliciously shiny and gorgeous when I got it.. now the keyboard after several spills akin to the exxon valdez I have to press on some letters for ten seconds before they show up on screen..

    You back up all your data first. Then boot off the cd/dvd you got with your pc which contains the operating system and then follow the instructions on screen for a nice fresh install. From what you say this should save you a few thousand dollars. If you use your laptop mainly for the net then it should be lasting you far more than a year.
    You should be able to remove the keys and give it a good clean (but take a photo of where they all went, and depending on the model there is a knack for getting them back on).

    interesting.. I shall insha'Allah.. I didn't know you can remove the keys.. just want to install a fresh keyboard.. I am very abusive to my computers.. every time I get a new one I promise myself I'll be good to it and love it, but sooner or later it finds itself at the abusive end of my unforgiving anger

    Also does formatting help keep the computer clean? always worked for me, but is time consuming at times i guess, maybe depending on the quality of the pc..aswell as having the anti spyware and anti virus softwares installed and upto date..

    I'm thinking formatting removes the installed pro's though, right? or is it a bad idea as a whole?

    Formatting erases everything!! and you have to reinstall Windows then, if you format make sure you back everything up on an external storage device like USB stick or cd/dvd or external hard drive.
