    Everything that I suggest I use myself and they work great.
    Once a week, or less if you do not use the computer too much, clean out the temporary folders and under stuff that is not needed.
    Piriform - Download CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva, Speccy - Millions of users worldwide!
    This will help the computer to run as it should.

    Thats great.
    I think that you will appreciate this. Here is my list of maintaing your computer. It gives many good tips. I think that the most important thing that you can do is use Macrium Reflect, as given in my first post. If anything happens, you always have a free back up of everything on your computer.
    Here are my tips.
    To maintain your computer

    10 Tips on How to Properly Maintain Your Computer
    ignore, reg cleaners.

    Steps that I did not notice on the guide include:

    Running a scan disc before doing a defrag

    Using Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes.

    Making System Restore points, at least once a week

    Makaing a system Image once a month (varies by user)

    Not relying on your A/V common sense, should prevail. You know of many sites can cause a problem.

    Do not use any reg cleaning or optimizing software.

    Download and use Ccleaner about once every two months. Untick any registry entries.

    Download and use PSI, to to be sure that all of your software is up to date

    If you follow these instructions, you will be trouble free for a long time to come.

    Be sure to back up your hard drive about once a month (varies by user) and to keeep system restore points up to date.

    Optimize Windows 7

    Good luck with both school and your computer.
