Easy PC Tune Up - Checklist
Just like how you take care of your automobile with oil changes, fluid level checks, etc you should also be giving your PC a quick tune up. PC tune up's should be done after first purchasing a pc and then on a regular basis as outlined below.
Initial PC Tune-Up:
1.) Backup your files for safety.
2.) Install/Update any Antivirus Program you are currently using. (Note: We recommend AVG from Grisoft they offer a free version and also a paid version.)
3.) Install/Update your Computers Spyware Detection and Removal Program. (Note: We recommend SpySweep - Paid Software)
4.) Update your drivers and windows software ensure compatibility and error free hardware.
5.) Defragment your hard drives to allow windows to find your files faster, resulting in a faster computer.
It is recommended to perform the above tasks weekly or at least bi-weekly after the initial PC tune-up. Additionally, you should perform the tasks below on a monthly basis.
1.) Clear Cookies, Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files, and old/unused personal files.
2.) Remove Programs no longer in use. Use Window's add/remove programs feature found in the control panel to remove programs that you are no longer using that are taking up space and/or resources.
3.) Run a Registry Cleaner to optimize your pc, speed up windows, and fix any computer errors. (Note: We Recommend RegCure)
