Defrag your hard drive!
Anyway! Is your computer slow as death? Does it take all day to start up? Well one way to speed it up is to defrag your hard drive. Over time files get moved around and deleted. And this creates spaces and gaps that the hard drive has to search through. And these fragments of space slow down the search process.
After you defrag your files will be back to back and in a neat and organized pile so to speak. So therefor the hard drive searches more efficiently and doesn't waste time looking through blank spaces.
To defrag all you have to do is find your "C drive" in the "My Computer" folder. Right click it and go to "Properties". click on the "tools" tab and select "defragment now".
Select which drive you would like to defrag, then select "Analize"
It will then tell you if you should defrag or not after it analizes. And after you defrag it will give you a report.
This one step alone will save you from frequent crashes and slow performance.
Good night!

Protect your PC!
Winchell with another tip for ya!
Every time I look at a PC for someone that is having issues the first thing I ask is "what virus and spyware tools are you using?" I get the usual... HUH? A lot of the time people really have no idea about what is going on under the hood so to speak. I was once the "HUH?" guy myself too. But now that I have started using a few different tools I have had less problems in general with my PC.
Now as for which ones to use you can find many resources online to help you decide.
But,
What you should really do is educate yourself! If you look at it like this you might want to:
When you have a problem you usually call up one of the door to door or over the net PC Helpers for around 90 buck an hour! And if your PC is infected then hang on it could be a while!
So you really need to learn how to just maintain it yourself! and for a few $ less then one visit from a IT pro you can learn it too!
Check this out it might save you some $!!!
