How to increase your PC speed

When we first bring our new system/PC at home or in office, the speed at which it performs is electric. We don't see any other system perform at the speed at which our system performs. It is mind blowing to see our desktops, PCs fast speed and compare it with the other older systems.

But as time progresses, maybe months or years, the PC speed decreases gradually. It goes so slow to an extent that we have other thoughts of buying a new system and replace the current system.

So what exactly happens that the speed goes so sour. Computers are made to last very long and help us for our online purposes and tasks. In fact even office systems last longer than home systems. Also offices use older systems that run as fast and neat as compared to newer systems.

At home, we install new software, games, tools and a host of other applications. Over time when we don't need these applications, we uninstall these applications and reduce our memory consumption.

But the most important part is that even the registry goes on entering data for the new applications. When we uninstall our applications, the entries in registry still exist. So our systems always execute instructions for software that are not in our systems and it ends up doping more work than required.

You can remove unwanted registry data by referring the video below,

Also spamware and malware slows down our systems and cause unrequired slow speeds. Viruses and Worms are also mostly responsible for the ever reducing system speeds and drive crashes.

You can scan your system with the newer versions of anti-virus and keep your system safe. Softwares like Avast and Kaspersky are portable and very handy.

My article on Tips and Tricks on better system performance also explains things you can do to keep your system sound and working at its full potential.

Internet Blackout. Can we afford it?

We may have potentially faced the worst because of this blackout that occurred on 9th July this year. The Internet blackout as they say resulted, in around 4 million systems being susceptible to the virus.

Systems not being properly monitored or kept safe by anti-virus or anti-malware programs would have been hit tremendously.This situation badly urges computer users to keep their systems safe of such commonly occurring attacks. Attacks that may have effects as bad or greater than what we've seen. 

My article http://techstuffwiz.blogspot.in/2011/10/tips-and-tricks-for-better-system.html also stresses on maintaining your computer systems to derive enhanced performance. Use an effective anti-virus software either free or on purchase. It's not important to have a heavy software as it occupies much of your resources. A reliable one is sufficient.

The virus which spread to innumerable number of countries intended to alter the user's DNS settings which would always lead the user to fraudulent websites profiting the attackers.

These few websites http://www.dns-ok.us and http://bit.ly/Mcafee-checker are useful to let you know if your system is affected.


A system well taken care of will work the best and most optimum for many many years, the same way when you had bought it, provided you take care of it and avoid unsure ways of operations.


Better to prevent and prepare rather than repent and repair :)
