Tips To Improve Your Computer Performance

Hi, today am going to give some tips to improve your Computer performance.Sometimes your computer is running slow. Actually this is happening because of several reasons. Below are some of the reasons and tips on how to improve your computer performance.

1. Spyware, Malware and Adware

This is one of the reasons why your computer is running slow. When you install suspicious software, these things will also install in the background without you knowing it. Some of these things can be removed when you removed the software that comes with it.

However, there are softwares that remove spywares. Such as Spybot Search and Destroy. You can get this software for free.

Using only one type of spyware removal is not very effective. If you want your computer to be secure and free from spyware,use two software or more.

Windows defender is a good option too. Use windows explorer to monitor your currently running programs.

2. Registry

Another reason why you computer is slow is because your computer registry is not stable and need to be clean. To do that, you need a registry cleaner software. There are many registry cleaner available for free. RegSeeker will do a good job.

3. Uninstall The Softwares That You Do Not Need

You can improve your computer performance by uninstalling the software that you do not need.

Free software can be found anywhere in the internet. However,some of these free software also come with some string attached like spyware and adware. So, be careful when installing FREE softwares. 
My advice is not to install the softwares that you do not need.

4. Get Rid of Your Temporary Files

You can delete all your temporary files from your computer by running the disk cleanup tool. Or you can delete all the files in your 'temp' folder. Do not delete the folder. If you cannot find it, you can go to My Computer->Local disk(where you stored your windows OS)->Documents and settings->your username->Local Settings. Sometimes, this folder is hidden, adjust your folder setting so you can see this file. Another way to find temp files is to take Start-->Run- in that type %temp%, the temp folder will open, clear all the temp files. Much better to clean the temp file immediately after booting the system. 


You can also run the Disk Cleanup to clean the temporary files. Just right click the particular drive say C: or D: or what ever it may be & click  "properties".Then you will get Disk Cleanup button,  click on that & put tick mark on the folders that you want to clean & click ok.


5. Adjust for Best Performance

You can adjust your computer so it can run for best performance. However,the appearance will not be very good. If you are running windows XP, you can do this by going to control panel->system-> advanced->performance setting->adjust for best performance.


6. Do not clutter your Desktop with a lot of shortcuts. Each shortcut on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM


7. Defragment your hard drive once every two months. This will free up a lot of space on your hard drive and rearrange the files so that your applications run faster.


8. When installing new Softwares disable the option of having a tray icon. The tray icons use up available RAM, and also slow down the booting of your PC. Also disable the option of starting the application automatically when the PC boots.
