My usual computer maintanance routine:
1) Installation of new programs?
- Run Ad Aware.
- Edit the registry to delete any items added to the "Run" container.
2) Run Windows Update once every one to four weeks.
3) Run Ad Aware once every four weeks.
4) Defrag my HD once every four weeks.
And of course a full reformat and reinstall of the OS is recommended once every 6 months, and no less than once a year, but that varies on the person. ;)
