HostGator It's Clean out Your Computer Day! A favorite utility of many Gators for ridding your computer of the crud and useless files, cookies, etc. that build up over time and slow down your system is CCleaner ( http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner ). As with any 3rd-party software, please use at your own risk. Want to speed things up even more? After cleaning, perform a disk defragmentation (aka defrag) to optimize your hard drive. For more information, please see http://lifehacker.com/5976424/what-is-defragging-and-do-i-need-to-do-it-to-my-computer
