You don't need to hire a computer geek in order to make your PC or Laptop run faster. Here are 3 easy steps to boost your PC or Laptop's performance.


 
Step 1: Run Spybot or your anti-virus program. I have McAfee and Spybot. I run both. What one may not find, the other might! SPYBOT is a free program that detects and removes spyware and adware of different kinds from computers.




Step 2: De-clutter. Schedule a weekly clean-up if you use your computer regularly. If you have a McAfee Security System, open the program and <click>Maintain Computer, <Click> Start to clean your computer's internet cache,temporary files, lost file fragments, orphaned registry keys, deleted e-mail messages, and other non-essential that are taking up space in your computer.

If you don't have a McAfee Program, you can easily do it manually.

    * <Click> Start
    * <Click> All Programs
    * <Click> Accessories
    * <Click> System Tools
    * <Click> Disk Cleanup

After Disk Cleanup, you can proceed on Disk Defragmenter


How Can This Help? Fragmentation makes your hard disk do extra work that can slow down your computer. Disk Defragmenter rearranges fragmented data so your hard disk can work more efficiently. Disk Defragmenter runs on a schedule, but you can also defragment your hard disk manually.

 


Step 3: When your PC or Laptop Starts to run slow during startup, then it's time to configure:

    * <Click> Start
    * <Click> Run
    * <Type> msconfig
    * <Select>  Startup
    * <Click> Disable all

Tip: You don't need to uncheck it all. You can choose the programs you wish to run automatically during startup like Anti-Virus Protection or Wifi if you use this a lot.You will be prompted to restart your computer or manually restart it.
