• Preventive Maintenance Saves your Time: Yes PC maintenance will consume time. It might take a minute, but is it a waste of time if this is the only way to saves you for a much bigger problems of dealing with system failures and data loss which might take hours?.

I found out that all types of anti-virus like Avira, AVG, Kaspersky, Norton, ESET, Avast, Comodo and etc, slows Windows down and that is a fact. Yes of course, Windows users needs an antivirus to protect their computer from most viruses that are spreading through network, internet and USB flash drives. Without an antivirus, their computer can get infected by virus, spyware, trojan, worms, bots very easily and quickly if they have not much knowledge in computers. I know the importance of an antivirus software, I but I bet to disagree if someone will install a very high antivirus on my computers because of one simple reason. It will Slow down my computer performance. I did’nt said that there is no need to use an antivirus, in fact, I am using an AVG free edition, no need for me to use PRO edition or those antirus with a lot of features and capabilities, instead I just practice what is needed for my computer-Weekly Computer maintenance and backup solution. This two practices on your computer will save your time money and effort.
