The lines in your palm do not predict or determine your destiny, but rather your distinguishing characteristics and personal health.
Start with your own hand and you'll become a palm-reading master in no time.

Each hand represents different aspects:

Right hand: practical, "doing" side
Left hand: emotional or "heart" side 

'heart' line:

What happens in your love life and why.

Right hand -- How you relate to others, your needs and experiences in love, and your passion for living.

CCleaner Logo

Its very often that my PC becomes slower in performance because of the heavy usage of it with the Internet. But every time when I got stuck up  with the situations like this I was suppose to use Disk Cleanup utility that comes by default with the OS.

This default Disk Cleanup utility does everything like deleting old Microsoft temp files, logs, memory dumps and other OS related junk files and even free up lots of space on the system but often leaves a lot of junk behind.
CCleaner is the great program that I use all the time on my computer. Apart from the functions done by the default Disk Cleanup utility, CCleaner also  removes junk files from other popular applications. Also it has the ability to solve various registry issues and a superb functionality to uninstall application in an easy way.
