Downloads You Shouldn't Be Without
You have plenty of software on your PC. But is it the right software?
Any Ft. Lauderdale computer repair center will tell you that a system needs a basic collection of tools to keep your machine running optimally. Since most of that software doesn't come with your computer, it's up to you to accumulate it while filtering out the unnecessary byproducts.
To that end, PC World recently came out with a list of applications it considers "must haves" to get the most out of a PC.
Below, our Fort Lauderdale computer repair experts have isolated and expounded on a few of them that you might not be familiar with.
CCleaner
No matter how hard you try to keep junk off your computer, it will keep on building up over time, often resulting in unnecessary computer repair costs further on down the road. CCleaner combats this pattern by clearing browser caches, temporary files folder, browser history, Windows log files, hot-fix uninstallers, temporary files and more. It's also free.
PC De-Crapifier
PC De-Crapifier takes CCleaner to another level in that it tracks down crap and eradicates it! We are referring to the useless programs and trial versions that come installed on many PCs, or that piggyback onto downloads you do want and install themselves on computers. This free program helps rid those things, thus boosting hard drive performance and speed.
Belarc Advisor
Another free utility that does a thorough analysis of your hardware and system setup and then creates a profile of everything you have. Basically, a log that helps you keep track of what's festering on your computer - something you might pay a computer service a lot to find out.
Glary Utilities
If you find yourself wanting to clean up computer, crank up privacy and enhance both efficiency and security, or do similar tasks, you'll want a free, simple program that offers a way to make your computer run much better.
Glary Registry Repair
The longer you keep your computer, the more problems you'll have with its registry. Invalid entries, software that doesn't clean up after you take it off - the list of problems can be endless, and will slow down a computer at best, if not cause worse damage. This program allows you to stave off the problems before they start.
