subject: How Speed-Up-Computer Software Saved My PC [print this page] I thought I needed a new computer but it turned out that I only needed speed-up-computer software. My PC was about 2 years old and it was slowing down to a flicker and guttering like a dieing candle. It was frustrating. At times it would just freeze on me or go so slow I could watch the screen refresh bit by bit. Without speed-up-computer software my PC was so slow I could take a coffee break while waiting for an application to load.
Speed-up-computer software to the rescue.
Like I said, I was ready to throw in the towel and get a new one, but then there was the huge pain of migrating all of my data and applications to the new PC which can be costly in itself. Then my techie friend, Tony, suggested that I try speed-up-computer software. Being cheap I tried to download freeware to cure my old ailing PC. I have to admit that to some extent they worked, but my PC was far from speedy and those strange windows that were left on my screen after I closed my browser were still appearing. I later learned these were called pop-unders.
Speed-up-computer software the spy killer.
These pop-unders were a result of software that had been installed on my computer without my knowledge. In fact, I learned that a lot of my problems stemmed from my PC being loaded with these junk software programs that were trying to get me to buy things. They are called spy-ware due to the fact that they are used to spy on your surfing habits. Speed-up-computer software can find these programs and eliminate them.
The Registry
This mysterious data base is on all PC,s and as Tony explained to me it is the computers reference guide. It tells the computer where things are located on the hard-drive and how to access it. As time goes by the little errors occur in the registry and they build up like soap scum does in your shower. If you don't clean up the errors they will slow down your PC and you will experience those strange freeze ups and even eventually your computer can crash for good.
Hands Off
Tony warned me to stay away from my registry unless I knew exactly what I was doing. He said a mistake there could take my PC out for good. Speed-up-computer software on the other hand could do this job safely. Finally I decided on a paid package and after installing it I gave it a whirl.
First the speed-up-computer software scanned my hard drive which took about 5 minutes and then it reported the errors and boy was there a boat load. I was able to instruct the software to fix everything with just a click of my mouse. The speed-up-computer software got busy and within a few minutes more reported that all errors were fixed.
Speed-up-computer software results
I don;t know what you will experience, but I was amazed at my PC. I kept checking to make sure someone hadn't swapped my old PC out for a new one when I wasn't looking. Now I and my PC are happy together once again and the speed-up-computer software is quietly working away in the background to keep my PC healthy.
