Newbie and where to begin

I just downloaded the cleaner this evening. I have no clue as to where to begin. I am working on my daughters laptop that has been running horribly and want to get it back up to par. Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated. I am very afraid of losing any of her programs completely. I ran a cleaner scan of her applications and there were a bunch that came up for her Microsoft Word. If I have them cleaned will it delete the documents?

Thanks for the help!!

If she runs Microsoft Office you can always untick that under CCleaner applications.

Don't use the registry cleaner (issues) part of the program until you are a bit clearer as to why the laptop is not running well. Just do the ordinary clean.

Also consider that it may be a virus or malware that is causing the problems. Are all scans up to date and the security products up to date?
