Windows Optimization Tools

By Hugh Kent

There are a number of Windows optimization tools that you can leverage to alleviate some of your Windows woes. These Windows optimization tools will help you overcome any one of the following problems, which are, unfortunately, all too common in the world today:

• Windows takes forever to load at boot up or login.
• Windows takes forever to shut down, or ignores your request to shut down.
• Internet Explorer takes forever to load web pages, even though you are on a high-speed Internet connection.
• You are being harassed by unwanted and unwelcome pop-up advertisements, whether you surf the Internet or not.
• Your applications will lock up and the infamous "hourglass" icon will linger for no apparent reason, without any warning.
• Your applications will crash or stop responding.
• Mouse clicks and keyboard keystrokes exhibit lag or unresponsiveness.

Fortunately, these 4 Windows optimization tools can help eliminate most of these problems:

1. Antivirus software - Viruses can infect your system and create a severe handicap, rendering your system partially impaired.
2. Antispyware software - Spyware infiltrates your system by means of stealth, usually social engineering, and can overload your system with pop-ups and initiating connections to some "rogue server" on the Internet, thus eating up your bandwidth.
3. Disk defragmentation utility - Optimizes your computer's hard drive so that all data is kept in one physical, contiguous block of space. This speeds up the time it takes to read from and write to your hard drive.
4. Windows Registry repair utility - Optimizes the Windows registry and repairs any errors it finds. The registry is the master database that stores critical information about your system. If any corruption occurs with this database, it can severely impact your system's performance.

Run these Windows optimization tools, and you'll be reaping the benefits of a much more stable, more highly optimized, more robust, and much faster operating system!
