My Mom's Windows XP Computer is overall slow, freezing & locking up mostly all the time. I don't have the money right now to pay for Premium Support through Microsoft to get it fixed. Can anybody please help me get this issue resolved immediately! It's been like this for a while. I just want my mom's computer to run normally like any other computer would. Please! Let me know. I appreciate it. Thanks.

    When I was going to run CCleaner now, it says, this process will permanently delete files from your system. Are you sure you wish to proceed? Should I say yes or no? I don't want to say yes because it may delete my mom's files on her computer? What should I do? Let me know. Thanks.

    Those are only temp files. They should be deleted.

    Again, do NOT use the "Registry" component of Ccleaner.
