It’s essential to ensure that your computer is clean, but also your mobile devices need to stay healthy and clean for daily operation. We aren’t merely talking about dusting off the case for a bit of shine but also organizing the contents inside. If your device is being bogged down by old junk files then dfndr performance’s quick cleanup feature can help free up your internal memory and SD card storage.

However, that’s just the first step; here are some other tips to keep all your devices — computer and smartphone running at peak performance on Clean Out Your Computer Day:

Delete Duplicate Photos and Videos
We said it before, but it is worth repeating – remove any duplicates photos and videos that you no longer need on your device. We all know the scenario, at a party or gathering, hitting the photo button half a dozen times to capture the perfect shot. These duplicate shots quickly pile up, draining your smartphone’s storage. Clean out what you no longer need with a duplicate photo cleaner and your smartphone will thank you.

If you are completely drained of storage, consider a solution such as a Google Photos to keep your memories in the cloud for no cost. Do the same for your computer, clean out duplicate photos, or old ones and store them in an encrypted external hard drive.

Uninstall Apps You Don’t Use
What’s more significant than a photograph and more resource intensive? Hint: It’s your unused apps. Consider the last time you opened that obscure app for celebrity gossip or that app you used to gain entry for a limited time event last year. Apps can take up large amounts of space, quickly diminishing storage. These unused applications may be running in the background, slowly destroying your phone’s efficiency.

Clean Out Facebook Messenger
If you’re chatting with your friends and family via Facebook Messenger, there’s a good chance that you might need to clean out your device. dfndr security’s facebook messenger cleaner feature allows you to remove old, unwanted files that the messenger app may be leaving behind. You could gain extra storage and clean your smartphone by removing old videos, audio messages, and photos still lurking on your device.

Whip Out Some Compressed Air
While shining your computer or mobile device’s exterior won’t be a performance boost, ensuring that your device’s ports remain clean can affect functionality. If you have a laptop or desktop, use a can of compressed air to blow out dust from its vents. Poor cooling due to reduced airflow can cause your computer to slow itself down in certain situations.

Have a mobile device? Be sure to blow out the headphone jack (if your phone still has one), along with any other ports where your pocket lint may decide to hang out. These simple steps can help you easily avoid problems down the road.

Desktop Life Hacks That Will Change Your Life for the Better

For those who have never known a desk life outside of constant clutter, life hacks like using binder clips or toilet rolls as tools for organization can make a world of a difference. Despite the creativity level of these hacks, they unfortunately don’t solve everyday desktop issues like slow Internet speed and frozen screens. PSafe has a multitude of resourceful features that can make desktop life as smooth as it was always meant to be. These life hacks are even easier than making a box of toilet rolls filled with wires.

The Best Way to Boost The Internet
Slow Internet speed is as painful to experience as watching paint dry on the wall. Luckily, with PSafe Total’s Internet Booster, you can get faster Internet with a click of a button. It shuts down any applications running in the background of your device that are slowing your roll. Now you can happily go back to binge-watching YouTube videos without any lag time.

The Easiest Way to Clear Your Junk
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be exclusive to your home — or spring, for that matter. Over time, unnecessary files build up in your desktop, information stored into your computer from websites takes up space, and plenty of applications are left open, causing significant slowness in your device. With PSafe’s Quick Cleanup, all of this can be wiped clean in a matter of minutes. This will be probably your only favorite chore.

The Wifi Check You Didn’t Know You Needed
Sometimes finding a spot with good Wi-Fi can feel like finding a unicorn. For those days when you want to work at a cafe, you need to make sure that you’ve got the speediest and most secure Wi-Fi situation available. PSafe’s Wi-Fi Check system reviews the speed and network security of any Wi-Fi network you want to look into. This will save you the time, the headache, and the coffee money that comes with a slow network.

The Surest Way to Increase Space
Clearing out files for the sake of increasing storage space can take ages, and frankly, who has the time to go through everything they’ve got stored onto their computer? It would be wonderful to hire someone to go through the files for you — but without having to actually hire anyone. PSafe’s Memory Booster is the next best thing, and better. It optimizes your data and helps you decide what can be done to create more storage space and enhance the speed of your device. Who needs to hire anyone when you’ve got PSafe features ready to go?

How to Safely and Easily Clean Your Computer

You may have the best of intentions when it comes to caring for your computer. You don’t eat over it (too often). You don’t drink over it (that much). But you know you haven’t been caring for it like you should. Get it clean and ready for action in no time with these tips.

Clean your computer keyboard

It’s grimy, it’s gritty. Your computer keyboard needs a cleaning. Making your computer keyboard look and feel like new again is easy. To begin, turn off your laptop. Then, using baby wipes or similar products, rub gently over the keys. Do the same for your mouse. Disconnect the mouse, then gently rub the cleaning cloth all over it. Now, grab a can of compressed air, and spray away between the keys to remove the dust, pet hair, and occasional potato chip that likes to settle between them.

Clean your computer screen

Turn off your laptop so you can better see the great, big dirty splotches. For an LCD, you want to be especially careful that you don’t press too hard, and damage your screen. If you do, you’ll burn out the pixels. Using a dry microfiber cloth, not a paper towel or tissue to avoid scratching your screen, gently rub across your computer screen to clean off all the gunk. If you must, you may ever so slightly dampen the cloth, in order to remove stubborn dirty spots. Distilled water is the best choice and will keep from leaving spots behind.

Clean up your computer on the inside

Now that your computer is tied up on the outside, it’s time to clean it up on the inside. PSafe Total Windows is the perfect way to begin. Install PSafe TOTAL Windows. To begin, run a virus scan, and see if there are any hidden dangers lurking within your system. After the scan is complete, deal with any issues accordingly. Then, take a look at the suggestions offered within the software to help your computer run faster and smoother than ever. It will also identify temporary and unnecessary files, so you can delete those as well. Freeing up space will also help your laptop’s performance.

Keep it Clean

Now that your laptop is up to speed, keep it that way. Take the time to occasionally wipe down the mouse and keyboards, especially after family members have been ill, and wipe off the screen.

Be sure to consistently run PSafe Total Windows to ensure a fast-working, zippy computer that’s free from resource hogging viruses and malware. Follow the software’s suggestions for a computer that won’t let you down.
