Steps towards greater PC performance.
- Get Rid of Malware. It is highly recommended that everyone have atleast one anti-virus and anti-spyware program. Malware is not only a security threat but does slow down your computer.
- Remove Programs. Many times, we install programs that we later find no need for. They accumulate over time and take up valuable space. By going through your add or remove programs section, you can easily get rid of the unwanted ones.
- Disk Cleanup. By using disk clean up, it allows you to get rid of temporary internet files, offline webpages, deleted files in the recycle bin, and temporary files. It can also compress old files that haven’t been accessed in a while. This is a quick and simple way to gain space if done on a regular basis.
- Updated Drivers. Windows is capable of doing automatic updates for your computer but you may have to do some manually. Having up-to-date versions of windows and drivers prevent many problems and help to make programs run smoother.
- Limit Programs Starting Up. Most pc users unknowingly have way too many programs running at start up. windows starts up a number of services by default that our systems do not need. You are able to control what programs you’d like to keep running under the Windows System Configuration Utility (msconfig).
