Optimize
Your Computer For Peak Performance |
by:

Is
your computer running slower than ever?
Does it crash a
lot?
If so it might be because advertisers have
loaded it up with
Spy and Adaware without your knowledge.
"Spyware" is a common term for files that
are installed on
your system that allow companies to monitor
your Internet
activity.
"Adaware" is software that will show you
pop up ads over and
over. These files can be extremely dangerous
to your PC and
could cause major problems.
They track the websites you visit, items
that you buy
online, the emails you send and your Instant
Message
dialogues. In a worst case scenario they
can even record
your credit card number, personal identification
numbers,
and all of your passwords.
I know all of this because I learned the
hard way.
Fortunately, I never had any personal data
stolen, at least
that I'm aware of. But every now and then,
when least
expected, my computer would crash, sometimes
resulting in
days of lost activity and income.
It seems like I spent a small fortune fixing
one problem
after another. I bought expensive software
programs that
actually made my problems worse, then another
hard drive
that I really didn't need.
Ultimately I had to take my computer to
2 different techs to
work out all the bugs. If only I knew then
what I know now.
After months of frustration and too many
hundreds of dollars
I care to admit to I finally learned what
it takes to keep
my computer healthy and functioning properly.
Below is what I learned and a recommendation
that can help
you avoid what I went through.
1. Get a spyware removal program. You've
heard it before,
but have you done it? This helps as your
1st line of defense
against hackers and viruses.
2. Avoid opening email attachments from
people you don't
know. When in doubt, don't do it. Granted,
this isn't so
easy to do when you're in the people business,
but I still
encourage you to manage it as best you can.
This alone
eliminated a lot of my problems.
3. Scan for viruses and clean your registry
at every
opportunity. I spend a lot of time on the
Internet working
on my website marketing products, sending
and receiving
email and the like.
Consequently, my computer is vulnerable
to attack from a lot
of different ways. So, I scan it for viruses
and clean my
registry daily; sometimes several times
a day depending on
how long I've been on it.
If you don't have a good spyware program
you should get one.
It'll help you optimize your computer's
performance, and get
it in tip top condition in no time.
Here are the benefits.
They'll let you:
know if you have any files that are infecting
your PC
help protect your computer and eliminate
trojans, worms,
dialers, browser hijackers, etc., and
help you avoid serious problems before they
happen
You'll be amazed at how much speed and problem
free use you
can regain from the use of your computer
after you install a
good spyware program.
If you don't have one I strongly recommend
Spyware Nuker.
It's relatively inexpensive and is money
well spent to
safeguard your computer and personal and
professional
information stored on it.
You even get to try if for free before you
buy it and I
believe it comes with a 90 day satisfaction
or money back
guarantee.
