Summary: Just what I needed -- and in the nick of time!
Comment: Prompted by my brother the computer (and Mac) expert to "Get a self-help book about Windows and stop bugging me every other month when something goes wrong!" I decided to start simple, and found "Degunking Windows" in my search for computer self-help. What a godsend! Not only are the processes in this book well-organized and straightforward, the fix-its are easy and enlightening. Did you know that when you download some programs (like screensavers or free games) from the Internet, they include "spyware" that bugs your computer and lets people see what you're doing and look into your life? This book not only told me about spyware, it led me through the steps to get rid of it. Guess what? It found four or five spy programs I didn't even know I had. Thank you!!!
As a former layout editor, I found the format and design of the book to be clear, engaging, and easy to work with. The introductory pages have several "degunking" options for the time-pressed that allow you to choose your own level of cleanup based on how much time you can afford to spend at any particular sitting. I started, ambitiously, with the half-day degunking, but computers give me hives, so I had to walk away for a while. But each day I picked up where I left off and was able to get through the degunking process in a very short while. The processes in this book are, done in order, a great way to do a major overhaul on your system. They also provide you with useful tricks for daily, weekly, or monthly maintenance on your computer to keep the gunk from reaccumulating. Kind of like those shower sprays: first you clean the tub like a madman, then just mist every day after your shower, and Voila! no more mildew.
"Degunking Windows" was my first computer self-help book, and what a good choice for a self-admitted technophobe. Appealing to my compulsive side, getting my system organized was easy, exhilirating, and, dare I say fun? (I did say I was compulsive...) Buy this book. You will be happy you did. Or you can just talk to the fungus that grows out of the cracks of your grout... Whatever turns you on.

Summary: Degunking Windows
Comment: What a great computer clean up book that is easy to read and understand. I especially like the first page of the book that offers a 12 step program on how to degunk your computer. Another clever idea that this books offers are quick things you can do for your computer when you have time limitations. This computer book is written in normal people talk and makes the attempt of cleaning out old files seem like a very easy task.
