Is your PC running slow, do you feel it is sluggish? There can be a host of reasons why PCs become slow with time, ranging from registry filling up with redundant entries and broken links, malicious spyware/adware, trojans, file fragmentation etc.
What should I do to figure out the problems?
PC Pitstop’s free computer checkup and diagnostics can help you detect and fix many common computer problems.
What does the tool do?
The free check up performs the following tasks:
- measures disk fragmentation
- checks available system resources
- analyzes device drivers
- benchmarks the CPU
- memory
- video
- disk
- Internet connection
- looks for viruses and spyware in running software
- checks for common security problems
- and many more things
The analysis doesn’t change any settings on your PC.
Once the tests are complete, you’ll get a detailed report about your system, an inventory of the PC’s hardware and software setup and issues with your PC as well as recommendations on how to fix them. It also keeps a record of your scan results in case you have to refer back to it.
How do I go about using it?
You need to create an account with them which is easy and free. Login to your account (using Internet Explorer as there is limited support for Firefox right now) from the PC which you want to scan and click the link on the left hand side which says: “Full Tests” and then click “Test this system”
It will ask you to install an ActiveX plugin:
go ahead and install it and then start the scan.
It will run through a series of tests and generate a report for you:
You can drill down into ones which are flagged and see what the issues are. Using their recommendations you can tune your PC.
All this is good but the report is too technical. Can I get help?
You can seek professional help (free) by posting a link on their forum. If you prefer live one-on-one help, try their 24×7 Live Support to get your computer repaired by professionals (this service is not free).
