Computer

So recently on TV I've seen a lot of those "Is your PC running slowly? Buy this!" commercials. This saddens me for two reasons, one being that people actually buy this stuff, and two is that people don't even acknowledge the free options. First off, if your PC is running slowly chances are there's a better option than burning a pile of money on some useless software. It also doesn't mean you need to buy a new PC/hire tech help/throw it out of a window, it means you need to download AVG 9 Free, CCleaner, and Defraggler (The latter two are both made by Piriform). AVG 9 Free is your basic anti-virus/spy ware/malware/
what-have-you, it's just an all around effective tool. CCleaner is basically a Swiffer for your PC (but not a Swiffer Wet-Jet, those things are horrible), it cleans out registry errors old useless files, and temporary files. Defraggler on the other hand is a defragging tool and I know what you're thinking "But wait! Windows already has one of those!". Well you're right, it does, and Defraggler is a lot like the windows defragging tool except with around 183% less suck. It runs in around a two-thirds the time of the windows tool, and even has more options to customize how it runs. Just let these three do their job and your PC should be back to usual in no time.
