Why You Should Optimize Your PC's Performance

Microsoft Windows includes several utilities to help you keep your system running smoothly. These utilities are found on the Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools menu, and include Disk Defragmenter (to defragment your hard disk), ScanDisk (to check your hard disk for errors), and Disk Cleanup (to remove unused files from your hard disk).

While Windows' built-in utilities are quite useful, they don't do everything possible to maximize your PC's performance. This is why many third-party software manufacturers offer their own PC optimization programs. These programs help to improve how fast your computer runs by removing unnecessary files and by fine-tuning your hard disk for optimal performance. For optimal PC performance, it is useful to install and run one or more of these optimization programs on a regular basis.
