For the last 2 weeks, the IT department has had my laptop at work, and
I have had to make use of the spare computer in the corner. We usually
have temps work on this computer, so there is no telling how long it
has been since anyone had done some real computer maintenance to it.
When I logged on to it, I knew I was in for a long day of Windows 98
repair.
The first thing I did was try to update the system from Microsoft. I
ended up getting an error saying you could not update Mac's on the
Windows Update site. I knew the day just got longer. So, I went ahead
and started with some basic cleaning. I uninstalled all of the search
bars that had been installed, and even that goofy weather bug. There
were other things installed that had no place being on the work
computer, so they went as well. That cleared up some hard drive space,
and reduced clutter.
The next item I did was to run antispyware software on the system. Oh
my! There was so much spyware and adware all over this system. I had
the program clean off this stuff, and this will also make the computer
run faster....
