Disable Start-up Items to Improve PC Performance
Many of your computer problems can be fixed in MINUTES. The number one problem I still find in slow computers to this day is that there are too many startup items loading when the PC boots up. An optimized PC should have no more than a few programs starting when the PC starts.
Most people do not realize this, but most viruses, malware, and spyware can only be activated by loading on startup. If a virus is not loaded on startup, it is nothing more than a useless chunk of data on your hard drive.
Just think, if you had 10 startup items loading when you boot your computer how much faster your computer would be if you prevented 7 unnecessary items from loading! Depending on the size of the program, you could save 1-10 minutes every time you start your computer up!
Some programs like Anti-Virus must load when you boot your PC up. These programs can use a lot of system resources, but without them the risks out-weigh the benefits. In the next few sections you are about to learn how to optimize your PC’s performance.
