5 Easy Steps to a Faster Computer

1.       Clean Your Registry – Special registry cleaning software can remove all the fragmented and missing files, so only what needs to be in the registry stays there. Only use registry cleaners from an established, reputable company—no sketchy freebies.

2.       Defragment your Hard Drive – To help speed up your drive, run a defragmenter. In Windows, just perform a search for it under "System Tools." A word of warning: Depending on how badly it’s fragmented, you may need to wait a long time for your drive to fully defragment. Some can take all night (yes, that long!).

3.       Organize your Startup Programs – Many times, software companies will place nonessential applications here to check on updates or inform you of promotional offers. Feel free to jettison those. The fewer you have in startup, the faster your machine will boot.

4.       Consider adding more memory – RAM is now dirt cheap and it's easy to install, too. If you've been squeaking by with one gigabyte of memory, adding just one more stick can produce dramatic speed gains in your machine.

5.       Use legitimate security software – Comprehensive security solutions like Norton Internet Security and Norton 360 will help ensure you’re fully protected against malware, spyware, hackers and zero-day threats that can bog down your computer and steal your identity. "

     

      From what I can tell it looks like this is the thing to keep your computer running smoothly so you don't have to worry about any interruption to your all important connection to the Internet. 

      Watch"" It's Really Only a Purple World"  for my review!  Remember that the discount is only good until September 2nd so don't delay if you think this would be great for your back-to-school shopping needs!
