 (ARA) - Your PC isn't very old, but every time you turn it on, it takes longer and longer for files to open. You wait for what seems like hours, begging your computer to process the files so you can get on to the next task.
The hard disk is the slowest part of your computer - as much as thousands of times slower than other types of storage, like memory. And your PC's hard disk slows down over time as files become fragmented.
Stop the slowdown with these tips:
* Defragment your hard disk.
The installation of Hard Disk Tune-Up, a 1-click tool from Sammsoft, reduces the time it takes your computer to search multiple locations to find all the fragments of data it's looking for when reading a file. Hard Disk Tune-Up rearranges the fragments into their proper sectors quickly, so you don't have to wait hours like you would running your PC's built-in defragmenter.
To bring your PC up to speed by defragmenting your hard disk quickly, download a free trial of Hard Disk Tune-Up at www.sammsoft.com. Click on the "start download now" button and see what a difference file defragmentation can make for you.
* Free up disk space.
Empty your recycle bin, delete installed programs you no longer use and remove Windows temporary files and optional extras that you don't use.
* Repair errors.
Hard disks can develop bad sectors which prevent your PC from saving information in organized files on the disk. The information will be pushed somewhere else outside of the bad sector, causing the computer to slow down as it searches for files.
* Remove spyware.
There are free programs available online which track and eliminate spyware from PCs.
