Visualize PC Performance (and Do Something About it) with PC Health Advisor

A new PC performance product, PC Health Advisor from ParetoLogic Software

, has arrived, bringing with it a collection of powerful tools that allow you to visualize and optimize performance. While PC Health Advisor offers several categories of tools including disk management tools and an option to detect and automatically repair errors, its Windows Optimization tab is particularly useful to computer users who want an easy way to improve their computers' performance. Located in PC Health Advisor's Optimize tab, you will find four large buttons labeled Process Manager, Startup Manager, Browser Object Manager, and Optimize Windows. Each of these tools is fully functional in the free demo version of the product. Use the tools one-at-a-time to improve your computer's performance.

Start with PC Health Advisor's Process Manager. This tool contains two tabs: Processes and Performance. If you click the Performance tab, you'll see a visual representation of: CPU Usage, Memory Usage, and PageFile Usage. These graphs are displayed in real time, allowing you to see performance spikes as they occur. Next, click the Processes tab where PC Health Advisor will show you a list of all currently running processes along with a set of easy-to-interpret icons that label each process as either: system process, user installed, other, unwanted, or malware. When you highlight any process, you'll see even more details about it as well as another real time graphic detailing its impact on your PC's performance.

For example, you may see a process named acroRD32.exe and wonder what that is and whether you need it to be running. When you highlight the process, you'll then see that this is an Adobe Systems file which may then trigger an "Oh, that's Adobe Reader" reaction from you. When you see that the process has a minimal effect on your computer's performance you might opt to leave it alone. On the other hand, PC Health Advisor may reveal unwanted running processes. When you click on one of these and see that it is gobbling up your computer's resources, you can then make a better informed decision about allowing this program to run or not. If PC Health Advisor indicates that a program is using excessive resources or is either unwanted or potentially malicious, you can stop the process immediately by clicking the End Process button. From there, you can start researching the process to learn more about it and how to remove it permanently. An option, labeled Optimize All, is available with the registered version of PC Health Advisor. With this option enabled, you can click the button and PC Health Advisor will automatically remove all unwanted processes.

PC Health Advisor's other optimization tools provide you with similar easy-to-use performance enhancements. For example, the Startup Manager button provides you with a selectable list of startup items that you can easily select or deselect; the Browser Object Manager lists browser helper objects that you can enable or disable; and the Optimize Windows button offers a series of performance choices that you can allow or disallow.
