My Secret How I Keep My PC Safe & Running Super-Fast Without A Single Crash For The Last 3 Years!

I use my PC every day for HOURS – and when I say hours I mean sometimes 10-15 hours! Call me a workaholic, call me a nerd but I really love what I do. I just love my job!

I don’t know about you but when my PC is slow and messy, I really feel slow and messy. It just affects my brain.  Back in 2001 I used to be a computer technician and after trying trying lots of software and whacky ideas 10 years ago, some of  important things on how to keep my PC fast and healthy stuck into my memory. And that’s what I’ll be sharing with you in this article.

I am not going to hide it but I bought my PC in 2008 (yeah it’s little bit of an oldie, I know) but since then my PC never crashed, never got any viruses and never got slow!

In the next few minutes you’ll discover the following…

  • How To Make Windows Start Up Faster
  • Best Tool That I Use That Spots And Fixes My PC Errors Automatically While I Sleep!
  • What Antivirus Works Best For Me!
  • My Favorite Backup Software That Gives Me Peace Of Mind!

How To Make Windows Start Up Faster

A typical PC loads a lot of programs every time it starts. Each of the icons in your system tray (the area near your clock) represents an auto-start application. And there are probably other programs on your machine that start automatically but don’t make their presence known so easily. Each auto-loading software makes your computer’s boot time a little or a lot slower.

Remove Unnecessary Apps That Load On Start-Up

    • Select Start, Run —> type: msconfig —>press <Enter>. (In Vista, select Start, type msconfig into the Search box, and press <Enter>.)
    • Click the Startup tab, and you’ll see a list of all your auto-loading programs, each with a check box.
    • Uncheck the items you don’t need, click Apply and restart.

Before you uncheck any program in the list… always use your judgment by asking yourself “Does this software need to be on all the time?”. For instance, I unchecked Adobe Acrobat, a program that I use whenever I open a PDF file because it serves no purpose when I’m not reading a PDF file.

My Favorite Tool That Spots And Fixes PC Errors Automatically Even While I Sleep!

The more errors and larger your Windows Registry is, the longer your PC will take to boot and load your applications. My favorite Registry cleaner is Advanced SystemCare PRO.

If you’re wondering what it can do for you, Advanced SystemCare PRO is the best and easiest tool to protect, repair and optimize your computer for faster and safer use with just a single click. It also removes spy- and adware, prevents security threads, deletes temporary files and fixes registry errors. Easy, quick and effective.

Take a look the screenshot below to see how many problems it found on my PC after a week full of surfing and work…


And here’s what happened to these problems within 5 minutes…

One of the many things I like about Advanced SystemCare PRO is that you can set it to run automatically in the background while you’re working or sleeping and you can even schedule scans and maintenance to happen at specific times, or just let the software work when the PC is idle.

Since 2008 I’ve owned Advanced SystemCare PRO, and I promise you I’ve never needed to take my PC in a computer shop to fix it for me because it’s like having a computer technician within your computer.

The #1 Antivirus I Trust And I Rely My Entire Business On!

I’m using Kaspersky Antivirus because believe it or not, it always detects new threats on my PC at a 100% success rate. The price might appear high, but it does include a three-user license and if you compare it to how much money and valuable data you save in case your PC gets infected this is real bargain.

Unlike other antivirus software I’ve tried on the past, Kaspersky Antivirus doesn’t slow my computer. It works in real time, protecting you as you surf the web, download files, send and receive emails, and access files and documents.

Third party testers and security organizations approve and recommend the software. Kaspersky has received top marks in VB100 (Virus Bulletin 100%) tests and boasts certification from ICSA. AV Comparatives has awarded the software with an A+. West Coast Labs has verified the software for anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-Trojan and anti-malware.

What Do I Do If  Something Goes Wrong?

My business is my life and my life is my business so I can’t afford to lose any data. If I don’t have a backup and I lose something, I’m lost. That’s how important backing up is to me. So what do I do in case something like this happens?

I use NovaBACKUP® Professional. It’s easy to install, easy to use and you can start making your first backup in minutes with simple wizards. It’s very flexible software as you can schedule your backups to be stored locally (on your computer) or backup your data online for backing up your backup. Now that’s what I call “Backing Up Your Back Up”.

My passion and mission is to turn REAL "problems" into REAL "businesses" that will help 1000's of REAL people around the world -- and that's what I do since 2005 in multiple niches! To run my business and manage my team I just need my laptop and an internet connection (and that's what matters!). Sometimes I work from cafes, hotel lobbies or home with (or without) my pijamas. :D
