Clean Computer Dust

There are many ways that computers can get "dirty." Many people are aware of the ways computers get dirty on the inside, by becoming infected with spyware, viruses, and other malware. But computers can get physically dirty on the outside as well, and many people never even notice it because the computer is tucked away under their desks.

Dust, pet hair, and other airborne particles can clog your computer's ventilation system and cause the entire computer to run hotter than normal, thus shortening the life expectancy of your processor and other electronic parts. With a little basic computer maintenance you can take care of both problems and keep your computer running in top shape.

Cleaning a Dusty, Dirty Computer

Dirty computers build up heat and operate at higher temperatures than a clean computer does. Every so often every computer user should consider opening up their computer case and doing some basic computer cleaning.
