There are a lot of software on the internet which claim to show you how to repair your PC, do a PC clean up and how to fix a computer. However, not all are reputable and work. Some will say that they offer advanced care, system care, free PC clean up and free PC repair. This article will aim to show you where you can get PC maintenance software that works.

Introduction

There are different things that you can do to maintain your PC, these include: Disk defragmenter This can be done by many programs, even by windows itself. A disk defragmenter moves all the files around so that they end up in sequential sectors. Note: It does not change where any of the files that you have are viewable from. Registry defragmenter This does a similar job to the disk defragger but with the registry. This can decrease general PC sluggishness. Registry fixer This will search for registry links that no longer link to anything, such as deleted files or programs that no longer exist
Running a virus scanner Viruses can slow down a PC, and can also allow people access confidential information such as credit card details on your PC.
