Cleaning Up Your PC

Easy steps to get your PC running faster

Many programs that we use day to day now leave small update programs running constantly in the background. While this has the convenience of automatically updating software for us it has two serious problems. First, it slows down our PC, second many of the updates can cause unexpected problems. We'll walk you through how to disable these programs using MsConfig so that you can get control back of your PC.
Some advertisement programs will block you at this point. Severe Windows corruption will also prevent operation of MSConfig. In these cases consider manually editing your registry, or using an advertisement removal program.

The following programs can be considered safe. When in doubt disable, then after testing if you notice a particular function (printing, scanning, synchronzing) has failed, re-enable one program at a time.

  • LogMeIn
  • AVG Tray (or programs by McAffee, Norton, Zone Alarm, etc)
  • Adobe ARM
  • Reader_sl
  • Synchronization programs if you have a Personal Organizer
