Work in Progress
I wanted to start a thread and see how you all keep your OS's clean and healthy. I like to keep my OS at its default after a reinstall but as you install apps it gets bogged down.
I remember seeing a post and kiriakost hasn't ever reformatted because he knows how to keep his os clean.
I'd like to add tips to this post so that it could be constructive and used so that other users can keep thier system healthy. Tips like how to avoid virus' clearing out useless cookies and what not and how to keep the system quick and responsive. I hope this becomes quite popular because it would benefit alot of members reading it.
