These quick tips will help you to get your pc back into shape.

1. Defragment your pc regularly! Every time data is written of removed from your hard drive the windows file system gets fragmented resulting in performance degradation. Defragmenting your file system results in better arranged files which makes the harddrive access files faster. I recommend at least once a week or after big changes in software removal or installation.
   How? Click on start select all programs, accessories, system tools, disk defragmenter. Select the volume (partition) you want to defragment and click on the defragement button.
2. Msconfig. Click on Start , Run and type “msconfig” and press enter. The last tab is called “Startup”. Here you can disable programs which are started automatically. If you are not sure what a program does you can leave it untouched.
   Also if you are infected by a virus you can find the virus (most of the time) as well in this list. To disable a virus it is better to startup windows in safe mode (press F8 key during startup) and then disable the program in the “Startup” tab because otherwise it can reactivate the program automatically.
3. Scan your registry regularly for errors. A common cause of Windows crashes, error messages and performance problems are the result of an inconsistent registry. See our page with free registry cleaners for more information and download links.
4. Scan for malicious programs on your pc. These programs also called spyware, adware, keyloggers, dialers and worms decrease system performance and even more importantly send information to other people. The following programs can be used to scan for these programs: xoftspy, noadware, Adware Alert.
5. This one is really a no-brainer. Activate automatic updates for Windows. You can activate these settings by going to the security center. Software bugs are constantly found and fixes are released regularly to fix these bugs. Besides performance enhancing fixes there are important security fixes which are released.
6. Adjust Windows Visual Effects. Select system from the control panel or right click on the “My Computer” icon and select properties. Select the “advanced” tab and click on the settings button at the performance section. Choose the option Adjust for best performance and click apply and then ok. Now there are no effects and this frees up memory. It is also possible to disable a few settings. You can use the custom setting for this.
