			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ryanunfair.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/boot-error.JPG"><img src="http://ryanunfair.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/boot-error-150x150.jpg" alt="boot-error" title="boot-error" width="150" height="150" class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-91" /></a>Did you know that your PC has something called a registry?  Just like the registry guest book at the back of the church, your PC’s registry keeps a notation of everyone/everything/everyplace who ever comes into contact with your computer.</p>
<p>That means every time you visit some website, even if it is only for ten seconds, your computer registry stores that information.  Every time a popup appears on your monitor, it may leave a little remnant of itself behind, just like your puppy that drags his dirty footprints across your clean kitchen floor.  Every time you add a new printer, plug in your digital camera, stick a jump drive into the USB port, add a piece of software, or do anything else on your PC, your registry keeps a note of it.<br />
Well, imagine if you did that with your actual paper files; you would be piled up in paper and going crazy, right?  You would never be able to find anything, right?  Well, that’s how it is for the little brains that are trying so hard to fight their way through the maze of useless information being stored in your registry.  When you try to boot up or open a program, it takes forever because in order to follow your prompts, your computer first has to dig through the huge heap of junk to get to the good stuff it actually needs to use in order to run efficiently.<br />
That is why registry cleaning is so important.  You need to keep related data together in the same area on your hard drive; you need to get rid of software and hardware items that you don’t use anymore; you need to erase all the URLs and other information from every website you ever glanced at.  If you don’t, you are doomed for disaster; it will only be a matter of time before your PC crashes out on you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ryanunfair.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/winxppro-2-1.png"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-109" title="winxppro-2-1" src="http://ryanunfair.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/winxppro-2-1-150x150.png" alt="winxppro-2-1" width="150" height="150" /></a>If your PC is running slower every time you turn it on or try to do something important with it, you may be thinking that it is time to haul it down to the local electronics shop to get it “fixed up, optimized, or cleaned up.”  No doubt the geeks or gurus want you to do exactly that, but you really don’t need to do to.</p>
<p>You can do it yourself with a simple registry cleaning program or even with what is most likely already on your computer.  This is why you don’t have to pay a fortune to clean up your PC.<br />
The truth is, just about every PC will begin to run more slowly the more you use it.  This is because your computer is designed to store information so that when you need it, it is readily accessible.  That means that every time you visit a website, the URL and other information is stored in your PC.  Every time you work on a document, most PC’s will save “drafts” of it so that if “something should happen,” you will be able to get to a “recovered document.”  Every time you add hardware or software, that information is stored, too.<br />
Unless you take this information off when it is not needed, it just sits there taking up space and causing your PC to have to sift through all kinds of data just to do what it is supposed to be doing – which is of course, following your commands.<br />
The good news is that you can actually remove this data on your own by using a few different tools that your PC already has, or you can purchase an inexpensive software program that can do all that for you.  You can clean out your Internet history, your startup menu, and your outdated software and hardware programs yourself; that is why you don’t have to pay a fortune to clean up your PC.</p>

Last year, I decided that I was finally going to bite the bullet and trade in my ten-year-old Honda for a newer model.  I had driven it to excess and it had served me well; I had been without a car payment for over five years, and I had never been late with any payment – car or otherwise.  I had checked my credit rating with the three bureaus about 7 months before heading out to the car dealerships because that’s when the idea to buy new first hit me.  You know how it is; I agonized over the decision before finally chomping down on the bit.  My rating was in the “excellent” category at well over 700, so I knew I could get the best deal when I went to finance.<br />
So, seven months after checking my rating and finding it at 700 or better, I was shocked when the bank turned down my request for a car loan, and the dealer financing was going to sock it to me for thirteen percent interest!  I couldn’t believe it; I hadn’t paid that kind of interest rate since I was just a nineteen-year-old who had never even had a credit card before.<br />
Thinking they were crazy as loons, I left with my emotions in a snit.  They told me I had “less than average credit,” so I went home to call Experian.  Turns out, that in the half a year since I had checked, some smarter-than-average criminal had stolen my personal, private information.  Ironically, he most likely got it from a site I went to while researching the new car I was planning on buying.  Anyway, he was out there using my personal data to get all sorts of credit accounts and charging all kinds of stuff in my name.<br />
It took me almost a year to repair all that damage and I spent so much time and had so many headaches it was ridiculous.  That is why protecting your privacy and personal data is so important.  Do whatever it takes to protect your good name and your privacy; Run regular virus scans and use a good registry cleaner to keep your PC and data in peak condition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have to sit around drumming your fingers on your desk as you wait for your computer to boot up, you are probably getting a bit frustrated;  you probably also remember when you brought your shiny new PC home from the store and it did everything almost faster than you could even type in the commands.</p>
<p>If you’ve had your PC for a while, you are probably now wondering what on earth has made your computer so slow and the first steps to take if your PC is getting slower and slower.<br />
Well, the truth of the matter is, there are several things that happen to slow down your computer as time goes on.  Every time you create a document, you take up a little space.  Every time you visit a website, your computer stores the URL information.  Every time you do anything, your computer tends to hold onto some piece of information, and for every little bit of information stored in your computer, your speed is reduced a bit.</p>
<p>Add up all this sometimes worthless baggage, and soon your once-fast PC gets slower and slower.<br />
The first steps to take are these:<br />
Check your startup menu.  A lot of times, software programs are configured to automatically go into the startup section of your PC.  The more stuff you have in there, the more work your computer has to do to get started after you turn it on.  Just like people, the more work your PC has to do, the slower it is.<br />
Clean your cache.  Your cache is like a big foot locker that holds all kinds of data—both necessary and unnecessary.  Go through it and get rid of everything that is not needed.  If you have never done this, you will probably be surprised at all the “junk” you accumulate in there.  If it was your kitchen junk drawer, you wouldn’t be able to get it open!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ryanunfair.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kaspersky2009.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-99 alignleft" title="kaspersky2009" src="http://ryanunfair.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kaspersky2009-150x150.jpg" alt="kaspersky2009" width="150" height="150" /></a>If you have used a computer more than a dozen times in your life, then you know that at any given moment you might be subjected to the dreaded crash or freeze.</p>
<p>Thankfully, temporary freezes happen more frequently than total hard drive crashes, but even temporary issues can be frustrating and aggravating.  And why do they always seem to happen when you are in the biggest hurry or when you are working on your most important presentation?</p>
<p>If crashes or freezes have happened to you, you know how important it is to make back-up copies of your documents and other data; we all do it as a matter of course – or at least we acknowledge that we should be doing so.  Why do you think that is”?  We make backup copies because we have been conditioned to realize that PCs are almost always going to freeze up or crash at some point in time.</p>
<p>But now, not only can you be prepared for “the inevitable,” but you can also actually have a hand in preventing your PC from crashing and freezing.  As technology has improved, so too has our computers’ ability to run well and to keep running well with a little help from the owners.  The problem is, most of us users have no idea how to go about preventing our PCs from crashing and freezing.  But it is possible, and it is not as difficult as you might think.</p>
<p>All you really need to do is regularly run a registry cleanup and repair scan and do what the program says to do.  Your PC freezes or crashes mostly because there is way too much data stored on it, and that data is spread out all over the place – in every nook and cranny – so your computer has to work extra hard just to do its job.  If you never clean up, your computer eventually gets so sick of digging through clutter that it just freezes up on you.</p>
<p>So, if you are really into preventing your PC from crashing and freezing, invest in a topt registry cleaner program and set it up to run automatically every week or two.</p>

<p>Your computer gets all clogged up because of various pieces of data that are stored on your hard drive; even useless data is stored, and not only that, but it is stored all over the place in random places; this makes your PC have to hunt and peck like a bad typist in order to get through the useless stuff and into the good stuff.  In order to clean this mess up so your PC can wow you like it used to, you may need to get a registry cleaner.  So, how do you choose a registry cleaner to repair and speed up your PC?<br />
First of all, look for a registry cleaner that promotes backing up your material.  Making backups before doing major things to your computer is always a good idea, even with the most perfect software registry cleaners.  That is just good sense; any company that would tell you not to even bother backing up data doesn’t really care about you and your data.<br />
Secondly, look for a registry cleaner that will allow you to set up the cleaning and scanning on a regular basis.  Let’s face it; we don’t like to clean out our closets and we don’t like to clean out our registries.  Yet, we want to be able to find matching shoes without searching and we want our computers to work like speeding bullets.  So, set up your registry cleaner so that it will work at a set a time, or at least make sure you have that option.<br />
Finally, make sure that the program is “user-friendly.”  You don’t want to invest in a registry cleaner to repair and speed up your PC only to find that it is too difficult for you to use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ryanunfair.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/pc.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-106" title="pc" src="http://ryanunfair.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/pc-150x150.jpg" alt="pc" width="150" height="150" /></a>If you have to sit around watching the hourglass or colorful circle spin around like crazy every time you go to use your computer, you are probably fed up to your eyeballs with waiting and you are probably wondering just what is involved in getting your PC performing like it’s brand new again.</p>
<p>Well, there is no doubt that the longer you have your computer and the more you use it, the slower it seems to become.  There is a reason for this phenomenon; every time you do something to your computer, like add some software program that goes with your printer or camera, or visit a website that collects data on its users, or click on a popup ad, your PC stores information about that transaction in its registry.</p>
<p>Think about it; it doesn’t take long for you to have thousands of pieces of information on your PC that weren’t there when you first plugged the thing in.</p>
<p>Your PC has to do battle every time you ask it to do something because it has to sift through all kinds of useless data in order to get to the useful stuff.</p>
<p>So, what should you do about getting your PC performing like it’s brand new again?  You should get it as close to “clean” as it was when you first got it.  When you first got your PC, the hard drive was empty, with the exception of the  programs that  came pre-installed.  Now that you’ve visited the world via technology, there is a bunch of stuff all over your hard drive, so you need to clean it up.<br />
The easiest way to do that clean up is with a registry cleaner software program.  You simply install it and it scans for you; then, it will give you suggestions as to what you should get rid of and what you might want to keep.  Cleaning up your PC is without doubt the best way of getting your PC performing like its brand new again.</p>

Every time you visit an online site, your computer gathers information and stores it; that’s how come you can sometimes type in only part of a website name and the computer fills in the rest for you.  Every time you create a document, your PC saves it; even if you do not tell it to, most computers save at least part of that document somewhere.  That’s why computer experts can sometimes find things you have done on your PC even though you never actually saved the item.<br />
Every time an ad pops up while you visit a site, little shadows remain behind in your PC’s folders.  All this unnecessary stuff makes it important that you give your PC a thorough cleaning every so often – getting rid of pop ups and other junk clogging up your PC.<br />
How do you go about cleaning up all this mess so that your PC can run as fast as it used to?  Here are some things to try:<br />
1.    Defragment your PC.  This tool helps put all related data together.  Just like you need to clean out your filing cabinet at work so you can find things easily, you also need to do the same with your PC; that’s what the defragmenter does.<br />
2.    Free up some disk space.  You can find this option under your tools section; it’s called disk cleanup.  It will remove all sorts of junk like temporary Internet files and the like.<br />
3.    Make good use of your antivirus software.  Don’t wait for your program to tell you something is wrong.  Go to it and complete a scan every once in a while.<br />
These are the best and easiest ways to get rid of pop ups and other junk that is clogging up your PC.</p>

Well, this is certainly true, but a hard fact is this: the longer you have your computer and the more you use it, the slower it will become.  Why is this?  Your PC gets slower because the more information that is stored on it and the more places in which information is stored, the harder your computer has to work to get its job done – its job, of course, is to do what you tell it to do.</p>
<p>One of the best things you can do to get your once-speedy PC back is to optimize it.  Picture this: You want to prepare for a tax audit, so you need to gather all your receipts, IRS forms, bills, and so on for the year 2007.  The problem is, you have four different filing cabinets and six different file folders with all kinds of tax-related items in them.  It’s going to take you a long time to gather all that stuff, right?  On the other hand, if you simply made one file folder called 2007 taxes, all you have to do is open one item and you are ready to go.  That’s a lot faster, right?<br />
Well, the same is true of your PC.  Your PC saves data, even if you don’t tell it to; the problem is, sometimes, it saves related information all over the place, so every time it tries to access that information, it has to hunt all over.  If you want to speed things up, you need to defragment your PC so that all related items are placed next to each other in your hard drive.  Defragging is the first step to optimizing your PC for top performance. Just search your Window&#8217;s to find out how to defragment your PC.</p>
