How To Improve Computer Performance

Solving a computer problem can be an easy task, either by utilising free or low-cost products or else by common sense tips to enhance computer performance.

As you may actually know computers tend to crash or freeze when needed most; in the middle of some important work or else while updating software. Free software might come in handy but sometimes we get frustrated not knowing what tasks to do in order to tackle the problem further.

Registry Scan

A registry scan clears traces of obsolete data in windows. This eventually improves computer speed drastically. You can get a free registry cleaner or trial version. I personally suggest to purchase a licensed registry cleaner software.

Virus Scan

It’s a must to take a virus scan at least once a week. Make sure that you own one and know how to use it and update it. Most problems can be prevented just by having a virus scanner installed.

Defragmenter program

Files in hard disk can be arranged better and thus accessed better. This can be done with the aid of the Defragmenter program which comes free with Windows. From the Start menu go to All programs – Accessories – System Tools.

Spyware program

Another must is a spyware search program. This is used to you’re your computer for spyware included in software downloaded from internet. Spyware enables other persons to probe into your computer and spy what websites you are surfing enabling them to send you ads through email. This slows the computer drastically.

Make sure that you have a spyware program. If you follow the steps above every week you are guaranteed a healthy computer with improved performance. You will no longer complain of computer freezing or crashing but enjoy fast performance and reliability in your computer.
