Why Paying for a PC Cleanup is a Rip-Off

With GeekSquad, Nerds-To-Go, and Firedog, there a certainly a number of choices when your are looking for PC support. I understand why most people do not want to set-up a wireless network. It does appear to be a daunting task. It is actually not too difficult and I will explain how to set one up in a later post. Many people call these places and have them come to their house an run a computer clean up. You can pay in the hundreds for this service. Why not do it yourself? Its really easy. Use the programs listed below to get the same results for a fraction of the cost of having a “geek” come to your house.

1. Find Out What’s Wrong: Many people cannot figure out what is wrong with their computers, so they don’t bother fixing it. There is a free diagnostic tool which runs a scan of your computer and makes various suggestions. Its called PCPitStop.com . It’s a great site. After you run a Full System Scan, select an issue and follow the instructions they give you to repair the issues. Don’t pay for their programs. They’re not work it.
2. Clean Up Time! : There are thousands of unnecessary files, including cookies and temporary files, which are hidden inside your computer. If you have never cleaned your hard drive, you will more than likely free up a Gigabyte of space. Use CCleaner. Its 100% Free and very effective. Check it out!
3. Defrag It! :If you have never defragmented your computer, you should. Your hard drive becomes fragmented with just daily use, which slows down load times. There is a defragmentor included in windows, but its not very good. I recommend AusLogics Disk Defrag. Its free and easier to use.
4. Remove Spyware: Spyware is the biggest threat to personal computer. If you do not have an antispyware program, GET ONE NOW! Your antivirus will usually not detect spyware. I absolutely love AntiSpywareBot. It’s the main reason my computer runs faster. The scan is free, but the cost is $20 to remove the issues.
5. Clean Your Registry: Your computers registry contains all the configuration settings in Windows and always contains missing keys, startup issues, errors, etc. This is the reason your computer crashes and shows error messages. I like RegCure. Its $30 but its money well spent. If you buy AntiSpywareBot, you can purchase their registry cleaner, RegClean, for only $10 more. This combo is also very effective.
6. RESTART!

If you follow all of these steps below it will cost you $30. This includes AntiSpywareBot and RegClean. Compare this to paying over $100 to some “nerd” like myself.

Software $30, Diagnostics $0, Hard Drive Cleaner $0 ……….Your sanity and computer’s stability = Priceless

Hope this helps,

Matt

RegCure: Effective Registy Cleaner

If you have been browsing the latest internet products, you have probably noticed that registry cleaners are excessively popular. But what exactly is a registry cleaner? Well, every computer running on Windows has a registry which is a database of configuration information which tell the PC how to run. Often times these files become corrupted and result in error messages and the freezing of your computer. These issues slow down your PC.

RegCure, is the best registry cleaner available. I have done a side by side comparison video of how much more effective RegCure is compared to a leading competitor, RegClean. This video is available below.

Please take the time to do a free scan of your computer’s registry using RegCure. It takes only a few minutes of your time and greatly increases your PC’s performance. In order to remove all of the issues detected you will need to purchase the product for $29.95. Trust me, this software is worth every penny.
