UPCleaner Make Your Computer Run Like New in 4 Easy Steps

Computer gotten slow on you? This happens over time due to the many programs you install. They typically come with additional files, registry entries, toolbars and start-up items that all combine to make your computer feel sluggish. You can do some simple computer maintenance regardless of your experience to keep your computer running smoothly. If you have not done it in months, or even years, then this could take hours to do the first time but it will be faster if you do it routinely. If you find this overwhelming please don’t give up; the computer optimizer can do it all for you.

1: Uninstall any programs you do not use
As mentioned, all these programs you have installed are filling up your hard drive. If you no longer use them now is the time to uninstall them. Windows uninstaller and poorly designed installations mean that removing a program does not always remove everything. This is why we recommend an uninstaller tool like Power Eraser. Yes, you even don’t have to add an extra program because it has been seamlessly integrated in UPCleaner.

2: Clean your hard drive of junk files Windows does have a junk file cleaner but it isn’t very good

UPCleaner on the other hand gets a lot more junk files out of your computer while still being safe and fairly conservative. Simply open UPCleaner, and perform “Scan” in the clean section. Then computer accelerator will show you the startup items and the programs running in system background.[and then] You can disable them as you wish to free up more precious memory. UPCleaner has a lot of options you can look at later to suit your needs but save that until you get familiar with the program.

3: Defragment your hard drive
Simply put your computer has a lot of unneeded junk files on it and they are scattered all over your hard drive. Picture a box of tacks and the tacks are your files. If I ask you hand me a yellow, red and green tack you would do it quickly and easily. If I tossed that box of tacks all over the floor and asked you to get me a green, yellow and red tack then it would take you longer. Defragmenting your hard drive can place everything on your hard drive in a way that makes it faster for your computer to access files faster. Microsoft includes a disk defragmenter and it is good enough to meet your need.

4: Remove startup items:
This is a little more difficult than the other steps to a pc newbie so I saved it for last but don’t skip it! Startup items are a huge culprit on the average computer. See all those icons in the lower right corner of your screen? Those are all being loaded on startup, and those are not all of them either! If you are wondering why you have to wait a minute to use your computer after startup, it is because all of those items are loading after Windows has started robbing you of valuable system resources before you open your first program. With the help of windows registry cleaner, removing startup items is just a piece of cake because it can help you identify what these startup items are. All you need to do is simply to check the startup items you don’t want to run.

Keep in mind all computers have (and need) some startup items. Examples included your anti-virus, printers and any program you use frequently. If you are not comfortable doing this step, at least try to remove a few things. It makes a huge difference.
