5 steps to take

Do you find similarity between the speeds of your computer processors to that of talking to your grandma on a lazy Sunday afternoon? Or have you been complaining that your PC has changed just as your husband/wife has after marriage and is just not the same when you bought it?

Don’t worry; we have a solution to your problems! Just follow these five simple steps and you can ensure that your PC is in good health and is running smoothly.

1. Defragment your disk: It becomes time-consuming for the PC to open and recollect data from different sources bit by bit when the files are fragmented. This reduces the overall speed of your PC. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable in Windows configuration. So, you will have to manually defragment your hard disk at least twice a month.

Instead of using the sluggish built-in Defragmenter by Windows, we recommend the Auslogics Disk Defrag software which is easily available on the Internet and what’s more, it’s free too.


2. A Registry Cleaner is a must: The Registry Cleaner is a widely used tool to boost up the performance of a PC. A Registry Cleaner is an easy pointers based and click-me programmes that automatically detects the slowness of a PC and fixes it as you click. Using this programme even once a week would ensure that your PC runs at its original specifications.


There is a lot of Registry Cleaner software available in the market but rather than going for an ordinary one, we would recommend you, Regsweep software which is the best and user-friendly too.


3. Get rid of Spywares: Spywares are nasty worms that can make your PC’s speed look horribly slow. They could also copy your private information with you being unaware about it. So detecting and deleting them from time to time not only boosts the speed of the PC but also keeps you secured. A registry cleaner also helps for the same but only to an extent.


4. Vacate disk space and repair disk errors: The build-in Disk Cleanup tool of Windows is an easy to use and excellent tool to free up your disk space. By safely identifying the deletable files, it enhances PC’s performance as well.


One of the most neglected ways of improving PC performance is to detect disk errors and repair it. To fix this, go to, My Computer and then right click to – Your Hard Disk – Properties – Check Disk – Fix your file system error automatically. This will remove the internal and integrity errors which makes your system slow.

5. Windows Vista special: Relatively unknown, every version of Windows Vista has a function known as ReadyBoost that lets you make use of a flash memory similar to a USB flash drive without having to add more RAM. When you plug-in your USB drive, the system automatically asks if you want to boost system performance. Just click yes and Vista will do the rest of the job for you.
