How often should you have your computer cleaned?

Computers sometimes save temporary data files including; Windows Update files, old downloaded files, internet browser history and other miscellaneous files. Another reason to have your computer regularly checked is for malware and viruses.

A failing hard drive could cause documents to be lost and a blocked fan can cause overheating and serious damage could follow.
