Computer Starts Slow |
|
| |
Usually the main reason your computer
starts slow is the registry is getting
filled with trash or it is corrupted. Another
reason is a lot of programs start that you
don't even use, but they still take up
CPU cycles and memory.

Popups |
|
| |
If you ever get a popup that tells
you your computer has a virus, DO
NOT click on it ! The popup IS a
virus. Close down your browser, the
best way is use the task manager.
Right click on you task bar and choose
Task Manager. Then highlight your browser
and choose end task. If possible, write
down the site you were at and report it
to Microsoft.

Adware & Spyware |
|
| |
Adware is not very threatening to
your computer, but it does slow your
system down not to mention very
annoying. Spyware on the other hand
is dangerous. If you go to a site
that you have a password on, it will
record your password and transmit it
to the person(s) that put it on your
computer. It is the leading source of
identity theft out there.

This site is dedicated to helping you keep your computer
running smooth and fast. Over the years I have had to learn
how to keep my computer from slowing down or getting the
dreaded blue screen, or just plain locking up.
Most of it is just common sense, but there are a few things
that people don't know that will hurt their computer.
That is why I put this site together, to help you understand
what can be wrong with your computer.
I hope this site will help in some way to help you keep your
computer running fast and smooth.
