Defrag and live to fight another day

Computer gamers - I confess to being one - have a trick to speed up their PCs. That can mean the difference between being hacked to death by an opponent’s sword and keeping your cartoon figure alive.

Cleaning up and organizing the computer hard disk is a part of the arsenal of most serious online gamers. The speed differences are dramatic.

Defragmenting the disk regularly keeps the game moving at top speed. It’s a good idea for you too.

But if you’re using Windows’ built-in defrag utility - well, that’s better than nothing but not the premium way to go. There are add-on programs that do a much better job.

You can read about that - and other hard disk topics - here. If your PC has slowed down then this (along with checking for adware and spyware) can really help.
