There seems to be just a perennial problem with people being motivated to keep a fast and efficiently-running PC. Remarkably, it is neither difficult nor costly to have the maximum performance from your PC but it does not happen automatically - you have to make it happen. While these topics are not difficult to grasp in terms of their value and importance, it is now obvious that many people need constant reminders of just what to do and how to do it.

First and foremost in this category of needed maintenance are all the things that ensure that nothing is present on your system that could damage it or prevent it from functioning as it should. This includes not only viruses but spyware/adware and the next round of internet and email sourced errant software. You begin this process first and foremost by ensuring that you never access the internet without a quality virus protection system running on your PC. It will keep any invalid or illegal software from infecting your system and therefore your performance.

The next thing to ensure is that your operating system is kept up to date in terms of its patches and fixes. You can get this done manually by visiting the Microsoft website and you can also auto-link to their site for regular updates. Then you should schedule and manually execute the Windows system registry updates that keep a clean and efficient registry file. The system registry is the master-file that Windows uses to run all your applications. Since MS does not provide maintenance capability on this database you will need to perform the maintenance yourself. You can purchase and download a top registry software package that does this. They also perform the other registry fix functions that accomplish any needed Registry Repair.

Next, you should establish regular backup points on your operating system schedule. Depending on which OS you are running there are varying ways to do this, but they all have to do with the System Restore Point sets that essentially copy the overall status of your system as of a given day. If you ever need to restore, because of system failure or other software problems, then you use the system restore function as of that date.

Next, delete any unused applications or utilities that have not been used in the last 60 days. You can check the date by using your mouse and right-clicking the file id and looking at the last updated reference. Most applications have an onboard uninstall function, but absent that, use the add/delete programs function accessed via your control panel.

Lastly, run a defrag and reorganize function pair within system tools to reorganize your hard drive and remove any errant or duplicate records. These functions, regularly performed will ensure a fast and efficient PC.
