Revving up your computer

I spend alot of time on my computer. From using it to upload and save my digital pictures, to connecting to friends (through Twitter, blogging, email, Skype and Facebook) to playing games and aimlessly surfing. We use our computer for games and research, to order products and talk to friends far away. If I'm not sitting here at the computer desk, either my husband or my oldest daughter is (and she's only allowed on when we are nearby). The other two still require closer supervision.

Many times, we are simultaneously working on a project in word or excel, looking at PDF's, listening to music, chatting and playing a game. So many, many windows open at one time. Most of the time, to computer runs without any hic-ups.

But like all computer owners, eventually the computer starts to slow down. Things get saved. Memory gets used. It just starts to bog down. And when your used to having high speed internet at your finger tips, any slowdown can be highly frustrating!

The people at Norton's, makers of Norton anti-virus which keeps your computer safe and virus free, have come out with a product called the Norton PC Tune-up. This product is designed to assess and evaluate your computer to figure out where hangups are occurring, to improve the speed and stability of your PC and to ensure protection and security.

So if your computer takes a long time to start up and bogs down when you have multiple programs open, I suggest you check out this product. Even better, I have FOUR free trials to give away. All you have to do is leave a comment here by midnight EST Friday, December 5th with your email address telling me what types of hangups your computers have that bug you the most. Seriously, it's free.

Thanks to the people at MOM Central for bringing this blog tour to me.

You wouldn't let your car miss a tuneup, so why make your computer wait?
