Is your PC behaving strangly?
Are you experiencing a slow down in the performance of your PC?
Don’t worry… I will show you how you can rectify most of these problems without any costly upgrades to your PC. To help you do this easily, I have divided this report into a number of easy to follow steps.
Let’s begin…
Step 1:
Spywares account for most of the slow down problems in your PC. This is how spyware is defined by SpyBot, a good spyware removal tool:
“Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn’t intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don’t see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies.” [courtsey: SpyBot]
So, your first priority is to remove the spywares and other such stuff from your PC. Here are the tools that I would recommend:
AdAware: A FREE, easy to use spyware removal tool. This has been there for a while… and the interface is self explanatory. If you are a newbie, I would suggest you to use AdAware.

Run the spyware removal tool to remove the spyware in your PC. Remember to run the tool once a month.
Step 2:
Another major reason for the sluggishness of your PC is a cluttered registry. Remember how fast your PC was when it was bought? Over time, the registry in your computer becomes filled with unwanted values. Most of the softwares adds custom settings to your registry and do not delete them even when you uninstall the program. These junks accumulate over time which degrades the performance of your machine.
Hence, cleaning of the registry will improve the performance of your PC to a great extend. Here is a great, FREE tool that I have used with great results: JV 16 PowerTools

Download the latest version of their software, and use it to remove the unwanted junk from your registry. I suggest you to run the tool once every month to keep your registry clean… forever !
Step 3:
Do you know how much junk your harddisk accumulates when you use your PC? Temporary system files and cookies fill a large portion of your HDD. Removing such junks from your hard disk will help your PC to perform better. Here is a nice little utility that cleans all the unwanted junks from your hard disk with the click of a button

Use this software atleast once per day to get the maximum results.
Step 4:
“Prevention is better than cure” – you might have probably heard this. Since you use internet, it is a very good idea to prevent unauthorized access to your computer. A computer connected to internet is a favorite place for hackers, who may install unwanted items on your PC. Hence, I recommend you to install a firewall on your PC, which will prevent unauthorised access to your PC. A very good firewall is ZoneAlarm, which is also free.

Last but not the least, defragment your hard disk atleast once per month. This will make sure that your programs run faster. Follow all these steps and I am sure that you will see a good improvement in the performance of your PC.
