• You fail to update your antivirus and antispyware tools or fail to run full system scans on a regular basis.
• You do not uninstall programs using legitimate methods - leaving behind loads of junk files, folders and registry entries that generate errors.

In addition, the following are some of the tasks that you will need to perform in order to keep your PC secure, error-free and at its best performance.

Update your Software

One of the most important tasks to maintain a healthy PC is to keep your operating system and other software on it updated. For instance, to fix ccsvchst.exe error, which is quite common with Norton 2007 users, you just need to update your Norton 2007 product. However, if you want to prevent these errors from occurring in the first place, you need to regularly update your software. Your Windows operating system comprises the Windows Update feature, which is designed to automatically download updates of Microsoft products. Also, several third-party software and device drivers comprise the live or automatic update feature that you may enable to ensure that your PC stays up-to-date at all times. If an update feature is not available, then you may have to go to your software manufacturer’s website and download updates if any are available.

Remember, failure to install regular updates may put your PC at risk to several malware infections that are built around the bugs fixed in these updates.

Scan for Viruses and Trojans

At times, you may notice, files such as aspimgr.exe that do not actually belong to any legitimate software on your computer. These files are actually virus or Trojans that infect your PC and prevent normal functioning. To fight these virus files and fix exe errors generated by them you need to scan your PC with reliable and fully updated antivirus and antispyware tools.

Clean your Registry

Last but equally important to prevent PC problems is to maintain a healthy registry. Because the main cause of registry problems is the accumulation of a large amount of unwanted entries, you should use a good registry cleaner tool to regularly scan and clean the unwanted junk from within your registry.
