Diskeeper 2010 Professional - best paid defrag I ever use!

Diskeeper 2010 Professional is a great automatic disk defrag program which works for Windows 7 and later version of Windows. I been using it for almost 30 days and I love it. All I have to do is install it, and let Diskeeper defrag my drive automatically in the background when my computer is not very busy. I notice my Windows Startup and shutdown times both improve. Launching programs and files also seem a lot faster as well.

There are also a lot of logs which you can view in Diskeeper 2010 to see how fragmented your drive is. The logs are great for power users, and IT staff to see how Diskeeper 2010 is maintaining their computer drive.

You can also still run Manual defrags if you plan on doing hard disk intensive tasks like video editing.

 Best thing I like about Diskeeper 2010 Professional is it uses little system resources unlike most manual disk defrags, and I no longer have to manually defrag my hard drive, or schedule my hard drive to defrag with task scheduler. Diskeeper is a program you just have to install and forget about since it decides when my hard drive needs to be defrag and optimize my computer, so I never need to analyze and defrag my drive manually.

Maintaining a Computer during School Year, so both you and PC performs at its best!

A computer is a necessity for every student during the school year. Sure you can use the library computer, but it is not very convenient, or even slower and hard to use compared to your home computer. Plus, it is not always available since someone is using it already.

However, the teacher expects you to hand in a essay for English in a few days. Most teacher don't really care that your computer is slow, or broken. They expect you to hand in your work typed and on time.

Asking the computer teacher, school computer repair staff, and the nerdy computer wiz kid at your school for help can be unreliable since they might not want to help, are too slow to be any good, or they might want a favor back from you. It is best to keep your computer running at its best, so you can avoid asking for help by fixing and maintaining your computer yourself.

I give you some simple tips to maintain your computer during the school year so it runs its best to help you finish your homework faster, so you have more time to socialize with friends, play video games, or to review your work.

Tips for Maintaining your computer

1. Keep Windows updated by making sure Windows Update is updating Windows, or run Windows Update manually.

2. Use an Antivirus and AntiSpyware to protect your computer from the latest viruses and spyware.

AVG antivirus  works pretty well for at protecting my computer from viruses and spyware. Also, don't open weird e-mail attachments which you are not expecting if a friend sends you an e-mail attachment you are not expecting. E-mail them back, and ask if they actually sent you a e-mail attachment. Some E-mail viruses are very smart, and can send everyone's on your friends e-mail address list an e-mail virus, and make it look like your friend sent it. Also, don't download files from un-trusted sources like piracy sites, and weird download sites which seem unsafe.
