Pc Health Check - Do Your Computer's Needs Differ So Much From Yours?

With the winter months slowly drifting by us, we often pick up ailments as a result

of the cold weather, with this year in particular being especially cold. As a nation we suffer from coughs and colds all year round needing regular trips to the doctors and chemists to boost our immune system and to give our bodies a good MOT. So as time goes by, we age and find it harder to recover, muscles ache for longer and need more care, the brain forgets to readily and our senses can fail us. This "reduction in performance" is not exclusive to humans, think about all the household electrical appliances we have, these all come with a lifespan or guarantee, suggesting that after this time has elapsed the performance of the machine will be compromised, too much limescale in washing machines, bunged up pipes, rusty cars are all symptoms of wear and tear we have to put up with and deal with accordingly.

So too our personal computers, the conditions described above are equally relevant here (give or take a little rust and lime scale that is!). When we unwrap and set up our shiny new computers, it is essentially a new born child, everything is running as it should be and there is no wear and tear to worry about. As the child gets older we pack them off to nurseries and schools and all of a sudden that healthy child comes back with a cough or a grazed knee or even worse....a virus. So we whisk them off to the doctors for a check up. The doctor prods and pokes and looks down their throat and in their ear to diagnose the illness that is plaguing the child. Once the symptoms have been recognised, the doctor is able to piece them together and make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment to get the child back to full fitness again. It's fair to say that the gravity of the situation differs when it comes our PC or Mac, but it is still frustrating when start up takes forever or we receive an error message midway through a surfing session, so having computers examined from time to time may well be necessary.

PC health checks are vitally important in maintaining the performance of our computers, as time goes on and we add more software, browse more sites and download more files, invariably the hard drive starts to fill up and unlike a car our PC won't run better the fuller the tank. This is where a PC health check comes into its own.

In the current day and age we have a huge number of electrical gadgets and gizmos at our disposal, but rarely do we know how to fix them should anything go wrong. This is even more apparent when it comes to our computers. To the layman a PC is one of the most complicated bits of kit anyone can own and so to diagnose an error and fix it without a screwdriver or hammer is beyond many of us. That is why it is so important to maintain the health of our computer and send it for a PC health check on a regular basis, not only will the PC health check sort through the jumble of files on your hard drive, it will help to remove any potentially harmful files thus ensuring the smooth running of the computer. If you like, the PC health check is a scheduled appointment with the doctor for your PC; it has a good look around and diagnoses any "ailments" causing the system to run slowly or crash, identifies any "foreign bodies" such as spyware or viruses and treats them accordingly.

The PC health check will help you to feel more in control should a problem arise, knowing that whenever you need some support, you can get your PC a thorough examination and treatment with your feet up and the kettle on.
