PC Got You Down?
So your PC seams a bit slower than it use to be? Here are a few tips…
1. Do us all a favor and un-install your Norton or McAfee anti-virus (if you even can) AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. There is a 95% chance this is causing most of the problem.
Now that you’re “freakin” about not having an anti-virus program on your computer, download AVG’s free program and be happy!
2. Install Mozilla Firefox web browser or maybe even the new Google Chrome and delete every Internet Explorer icon you can find to resist your temptation to use that “waste of code” web browser.
3. Install CCleaner and RUN IT! Chances are you have about 2 gigabytes of garbage temporary files on your computer.
4. Love chatting? Un-install your 6 chat messengers and download Pidgin Messenger. It will combine your AIM, Yahoo, MSN, GoogleTalk, ICQ, MySpaceIM and probably anything else you have into one! No more stupid banner ads and pop-ups either!
5. Turn off the 25 tray icons you’re not using. The tray is the little group (or huge group in your case) of icons down in the right corner by the clock.
Right click on each icon and hit either [disable] or [Properties] and find the disable tray icon check box. This will make a big difference in your PCs performance if it is an older machine.
There! That’s your 30 minute homework project to make your PC better. If it still sucks, give me a call and I’ll come take a look.
Happy Friday! ~ John
