To keep my computer running smoothly, in addition to the standard anti-spyware and anti-virus scans, I like to use C Cleaner. Used to be known as crapcleaner. It's free. It's wonderful. Go to www.ccleaner.com. They have a new version every now and then, and I always make sure to download these.
It has (for free) a registry cleaner and a standard temp file cleaner and has scared my computer into behaving!.
Source: A friend told me about C Cleaner - been using it for years.
I've used this program for years too and love it! Personally, I don't have any issues that would require feeling the need to download Linux on my machine when CCleaner and my choice of other applications work wonderfully. Glad you shared this tip :-)
