TUNE UP YOUR COMPUTER - IT IS YOUR REAL ESTATE LIFELINE

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Christian Realty San Antonio 540730

          Raise your hand if your computer ever let you down at the wrong time.  Ah ha!!  Thought so.  You can put them down now.  ALL of us have had difficulties at the absolute wrong time.  In real estate, it makes your hair turn and your spouse.significant other may chastise you for using inappropriate language towards an inanimate object.  Whatever.

                                                   computer problems

          Most recently my computer had more than a hiccup...it was giving me fits.  Could not for the life of me figure out what was going on.  Not to bore you all with details.  However, VIOLA! we have a solution Houston.

          My use of PCPitstop ( www.PCPitStop.com )  seems to have solved my issues.  There was a bunch of "hidden" junk in the system.  Had to pay $30 for the one-year contract, however it does appear to have done the job.

          Just wanted to share with all my friends here on AR.  Hope this is of use.

One of the best spyware detectors I've used is Spybot Search and Destroy. It's great for when your computer is doing things that you know it shouldn't, but you can't figure out why. I also use CCleaner (Cr**Cleaner) for maintenance - it gets rid of all sorts of files you never knew you had :-)

Glad you're up and running again!

Did you try a sneak up on the computer and scare it first. One of the alltime hiccup cures I hear. Glad you got it all fixed.

Hi Dominick~  I get so frustrated when my computer acts up because I usually don't know how to figure out what is going on.  But, I am getting better!  Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for sharing this.  I have three laptops, and all of them could use some help, so I'll be sure to make a pit stop tomorrow!

I am a die hard MAC user after blowing up at least one PC a year for about five years straight. I have had my MAC now for going on two years with no problems whatsoever. Hope PCPitStops can help all the PC users. If not....get a MAC.

Dominic, I have been using Uniblue's Registry booster and it has improved the speed a little.

 I have used PC Pitstop for a few years. It does give you a lot of information of what is going on with your computer. Up to you to try to fix it yourself.

We got a rootkit on our computer a couple of weeks ago. It was nasty!
