When your PC is all new the performance is top-notch with quick start-up times, boots in a jiffy and minimal hang-ups. That best case scenario slowly starts to fade away as your PC is brimmed full with applications, software packages, background running processes and of-course the malware content. This is where you need some help from third-party applications or the resident OS utilities so that you can have that extra boost whenever the need arises.
