Five Basic Methods of Speeding Up A Slow Computer

As computers are used they will need certain maintenance and protection. Here are 5 things that technicians use to speed up slow computers.
1. Protect your computer from Spyware.
Spyware causes a lot of computer problems. These are programs that are installed onto your pc without your permission. They collect data about your browsing history, your personal passwords, email addresses, etc. and then sends it to outside sources. Not only does this create a security hazard but will slow your computer's performance by constantly running programs in the background of your computer. There are many good software programs available to help with spyware cleaning as well as future protection. This is an essential part of computer maintenance.
2. Use Windows disk cleanup tool to free up storage space.
You will find the disk cleanup tool in the Accessories under Tools. The majority will be internet files your pc has stored for faster browsing but need to be removed periodically to reduce the storage space being used.
3. Run the disk defragmenter utility to organize data.
By running the windows disk defragmenter you will streamline the route your processor has to go to find each bit of data needed to run your programs. Again you find this tool in Accessories under Tools. Run the analysis first to see how long it will take. You may want to do this during the night or when your computer is not needed.
4. Repair disk errors on your computer's hard drive.
Errors are simply the result of use. They happen at various times such as with online download failures, uninstalling programs, incorrect computer and program shutdowns, etc. This utility is found under My Computer. Right click on the C drive, then Properties, and then Tools tab.
5. Run a registry optimization software program.
Many technicians will recommend using a registry "cleaner" as a full-time optimization tool rather than doing the above 4 procedures. Computer users are just not going to stop and do the other steps as often as they should be done.
