While cleaning the computer hardware, make sure that the computer is switched off and there is no power supply.
The monitor can be cleaned using wet sponge or cloth. While cleaning, squeeze the excess liquid from the cloth or sponge. If you are using detergent, let it be highly diluted.
LCD monitors must be cleaned very gently without using much pressure as it can damage the flat screen monitor.
Vacuum cleaners can be used to clean the keyboard. Do not spray any liquid directly on to the keyboard. With a damp cloth clean each key on the keyboard separately.
If the headphones are used very frequently by different people, replace the cushions. If it is plastic, clean it with moist cloth.
Clean the dust off the motherboard by blowing air.
If you want to completely wipe off the deleted files from your system, simply clearing the recycle bin won’t do. Smart Data Scrubber helps you find all the files that were deleted from your system and wipe them off completely from your system. This ensures that your privacy will not be hampered.
Clean your windows registry depending on how often you install or uninstall your software and also depending on the alterations you perform on your hardware. Not cleaning your registry slows down the performance of your computer.
Update your system with latest Microsoft updates.
Defragment your hard drive regularly.
Perform regular virus scans. It is the basic protection needed by every computer.
