5 free tools to speed up your computer.

With routine use computers tend to slow down, taking longer and longer to perform essential tasks. Minutes lost can quickly become hours when compounded over multiple computers in a network. In business time is money, so here are 5 free tools that can reduce or eliminate those losses:

CCleaner
CCleaner cleans your drives more thoroughly than Windows. While the default settings are likely all you'll need, a user-friendly interface allows you to customize the process. CCleaner also includes a registry cleaner. Always backup your registry before making any changes (CCleaner does this by default). We recommend running the regsitry cleaner multiple times until you see "no issues found".

Ad-Aware
As spyware and adware have become malware, what was once just an annoyance has now become a serious threat. This free version of Ad-Aware is only for use on your personal computer. Once you see how effective and easy it is, you can purchase their enterprise version to protect your business here.
