P.S i have a ccleaner

Hi Chris,

5.59 GB is not that much, let’s see what we can do.

Try the following in the exact order…
- Disabling “Hibernation” if it is enabled will free up sometimes 1 GB of hard disk drive space.
1. RIGHT-click an empty spot on the desktop and select “Properties”, a menu popup will appear
2. Click the “Screen Saver” tab at the top and then click the “Power” button towards the bottom, another menu popup will appear
3. Click the “Hibernate” tab towards the top.
4. If the “Enable Hibernation” checkbox is selected, Uncheck it

- Over time you may have some programs on your PC that you do not use or want anymore. Thoroughly uninstalling them and cleaning up any leftovers may free up a few hundred megabytes of HDD space.
1. Thoroughly uninstall unwanted programs on your PC with Revo Uninstaller’s advanced uninstall method. http://www.cleartechinfo.com/Learn-How-To-Uninstall-Software-Windows-Revo-Uninstaller
2. Clean up any leftovers using CCleaner

- If you don’t defragment (reorganize and optimize) your HDD at least every other month your overall system speed will start to slow down. If you have never defragmented your hard drive I am positive that your computer will a lot slower than what it should be.
1. Speed up and optimize your PC by defragging your HDD using JKDefrag http://www.cleartechinfo.com/How-To-Speed-Up-Computer-Defragging-Hard-Drive-JkDefrag


Can you do me a favor? After you perform all of the above can you tell me how much HDD space you have freed up? I am very interested in the outcome.

I've done the the first step you asked but the "Enable Hibernation" checkbox was already unchecked.I've downloaded the Revo Uninstaller and used the advanced unistall method.And i used the ccleaner afterwards.Now i have 1.13 GB of free space.And its going faster because of the defragment.Thanks

1.13 GB is awesome for only having a 5.59 GB HDD. Glad everything worked out for you.

Hi Tony,

Under the "Advanced" tab there might be a setting that says something like, "Enable Hibernation". Check it.

For your other problem I created a forum topic to help you out. http://www.cleartechinfo.com/forum/security/how-to-get-rid-of-%27nssstub-exe%27-or-nssstub-download/
