Install an antivirus and computer with Antivirus Scan done periodically. Here I usually use Avast or AVG Free Antivirus which proved powerful enough to protect your computer from virus infection. Also use also other such Sanner Malware Malwarebyte or Norman Malware Cleaner to ensure your computer is free from viruses and other malware.

1. Do a Windows Update, Update Antivirus and other software.
   Automatically or manually, go to the Windows update, antivirus and other software such as MS Office, Browser, Java and other applications, so in addition to closing the security hole can also use the latest features of the various applications.


2. Perform Optimization System.
   To perform system optimization, we can use some default Windows tools such as the following:
   
   • Disk Clean Up, for cleaning files that are not needed.
   • Check Disk, to check and repair the file system on the hard disk.
   • Disk Defragmenter, to perform disk optimization by rearranging the files are "scattered" on the hard drive.

In addition to using the default Windows tool, for easier maintenance and optimization of the system we can also use the software for windows optimization like Advance System Care or Glarry Utilities.
