When you use your new computer for the first time, you were probably amazed by its blazing speed. But now it seems to have slowed down.
Chances are it needs just a little routine maintenance to get it back in tip-top shape.
Defrag When you add a file or a new program to a brand new computer, the hard disk is relatively empty so new data is written to the hard disk in one contiguous block. When you need to use that information, the computer can quickly access it because it is all in one place. As you use your computer adding files and programs, the hard disk begins to fill up. Deleting files or removing programs creates small empty areas among the other data that the computer will reuse. After awhile, the computer is no longer saving information in large blocks.
