How I format my system?

AVG is good. Make sure you update it regularly and run it at least weekly, daily if you surf a lot or other people use your computer.

You should also have a good spyware program which you should run at least once a week.

You should also have a good Registry Cleaner program which you should run at least once a week.

I use all of the programs listed below. Besides being good programs, and FREE, you also have the ability to continue working on your computer (online or offline) while the program is running.

AVG is a FREE anti-virus program that is excellent

After running the above programs,

If you’re running XP, try the following:

Go to:

Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup

After that is done, go to:

Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter

I believe that with both of the above you can still be using your computer while they are performing their task.

Completing everything above should help your computer function faster and more efficiently.
