Slow Computer Driving You Crazy?

Read On To See How You Can Make Your Computer Network Run Like New Again

Are you frustrated by slow PCs, screen freezes, error messages and things not working right in general? These are all signs that your computer network is desperately in need of either an upgrade OR a tune up.

What Causes Computer Networks To Run Slow?

     Over time, all computers and servers slow down and become progressively worse. The main reasons are:

 

  • Spyware, viruses and other malware secretly installed on your machine. We say “secretly” because most users don’t realize their computer is infected until it’s too late. Most viruses and malware programs circulating on the Internet today are well designed, highly sophisticated programs designed to install themselves and work in the background, undetected – and often the only sign you’ve been compromised is slow performance.
  • Old equipment. Believe it or not, most PCs only have a shelf life of 3 years. (Amazing, isn’t it?) But there are ways to extend your computer’s life, which brings me to #3…
  • Poor Maintenance. Just like a car, computer networks need regular maintenance (or “tune-ups”) in order to maintain top speed and performance. In fact, there are over 100 different system checks and updates that need to be done on a regular basis, including disk defragmentation, patch management and the removal of unnecessary files and programs (to name only a few).
