- Remove old and unused programs through Add/Remove Programs. Old programs not only take up space on the machine, but some programs may continue to run in the background without your knowledge.
- Download and install Anti-Spyware software such as Windows Defender. Run this regularly in order to detect and resolve potential corruption and other issues on the servers. Most programs are easily removed from Add/Remove Programs, however Spyware applications are sometimes more difficult to remove.
