Optimize PC Performance

Keep Your PC Fit and Healthy

It's a common occurrence with computer users: you start out with a fast-moving, fresh computer, but within months or years, you notice that it doesn't run or process data as quickly. Part of the problem is simply data load: the more you put on your computer, the less quickly it runs. Debris, junk and clutter from the Internet make up another source of slow-down. Your computer can collect cookies, spyware and even viruses while online. And of course, with richer content comes larger file sizes. Together these factors can result in noticeable slow-downs.What's the remedy? Basic maintenance, routine tune-ups and upgrades can all help keep your computer performing at top speeds.

I keep my PC running more smoothly by keeping my anit-virus up to date and run an alternate anti-virus in case my first one missed something, run a malware, program and spyware  program. I also make sure these are current and up to date.I have firewalls in place and create system restore points before I do some of the maitenence . I clean all cache's of the various user browsers, and defrag and run disk defrag mentor on a regular basis. I also back up my photo's and stuff like that on my external hard drive and I have several flash drives that I use to keep xtra thing that I like to use regularly that take up a lot of space.
