Software utilities can speed up the operating system in numerous ways. Examples of speeding it up by using software utilities include programs that allow the computer memory or processing power to be handled better. The way this works is that the unnecessary processes for your computer can be prevented from running if the user does not a certain process running in the background, the result of this is that the computer performance will run a lot faster once some processes have been stopped. An alternate method that speed up the operating system is by installing software updates. Software updates are usually there to get rid of any bugs on certain applications that could cause the computer system to slow …show more content…
There are a lot of high quality programs available that will make your computer system faster and that will fix issues you thought may have meant you had to replace your computer. If users do not use virus protection on their computer (e.g. McAfee) they will have to spend a lot of money by replacing their hard drive on a monthly basis to prevent their computer system from failing on them. Not only does virus protection save a lot of money, it also saves the user a lot of time if they were to keep replacing the hard drive to remove infected files. As this method saves the user a lot of money, it will also improve their system performance and with the money saved up by using virus protection, they could alternatively upgrade their …show more content…
There are clean up tools on the computer system that can improve the computer performance. Not necessarily done to directly increase the speed, but the storage capacity, which will ultimately increase the speed slightly. The way you can do this is by using tools such as defragmentation. This will collect files throughout the computer system that have been split up amongst the hard drive and bring them together, using less storage space and freeing up hard disk space. Another clean up tool is the deletion of temporary files. Temporary files are saved onto the computer which let you load up web pages quicker next time you access them, but if you never visit the page again, the files are just wasting potential Hard disk
