PC Overhaul & Optimization

This process takes at least one full day to complete, usually longer. The system cannot be used AT ALL during this time and the entire process is done remotely for yours and my convenience to keep cost down.

STEP ONE: The Deep Cleaning

This includes but it not limited to:

• Perform a complete system backup before proceeding

• Registry backup and cleaning

• Disk Defragmentation

• Finding and eliminating all forms of trash (including hidden files)

• Compressing disk space

• Eliminating unnecessary start up programs or apps that don’t need to be running all the time

• Assess the security suite situation. Remove before cleaning and reinstall afterwards

• Completely remove all unwanted or unneeded programs and processes using special removal tools that get ALL connected files and folders

• Locate excessively large system files and reduce or remove them depending on each type and importance

STEP TWO: The Optimization

• Perform ALL Microsoft Windows updates and patches and make sure each step of the way that no problems are created. Make sure updates are scheduled to happen regularly

• Check for patches and fixes for other software on the system

• Suggest removal of software or tools that are known to be problematic and offer alternatives

• Set all non-critical Windows processes to low priority or change memory allocations

• Fine tune all start-up processes and make sure ONLY the needed ones are running

• Install new or add back existing security suite

• Set up a file-syncing system (either new or existing) for always-on, real-time file protection

• Set up regular complete system backups as an additional measure on top of the syncing

• Identify which web browsers are being used and why. Offer alternatives that might be safer and swifter if needed

• Provide recommendations for any hardware improvements to the existing system to keep costs down but performance high
