WARNING !!! The last program you uninstalled may be causing severe performance degradation!

If you've owned a computer for any length of time, you have inevitably downloaded, installed, and later gotten rid of program after program. What you may not realize, though, is that uninstalling a program often leaves you with unwanted "leftovers" that irrefutably gunk up your system one way or another.

Left untouched, your system will begin to suffer severe deterioration, whether it's from fragmented files, wasted disk space, and worse of all: an unoptimized system registry.

That's why it's critically important to maintain your system regularly. And ask any PC professional: a well maintained system equates to the same elated feeling one gets after a fresh format and a reinstall of Windows.

So, what can you do to get your system running in tip-top shape?

Here's a real-life scenario:

Last night, your computer made a strange noise, and a plume of blue smoke emanated from the rear. The power button no longer works. Your computer won't turn on!

Reluctantly, you bring the computer to your local PC repair shop.

"Sure enough," the technician says, "your power supply blew and will cost $40 to replace." He then adds, "Unfortunately, your hard drive also died. To reinstall all your software on a new unit and to attempt a data recovery from the old drive, it's going to cost an additional 8 hours of labor."

Q U E S T I O N: How much do you pay the technician?

Would it be the budget rate of $35 an hour (x 8 hours = $280) -- or would be it be the more realistic rate of $65 an hour (x 8 hours = $520) in order to get your little friend back to the way he was previously?

Or how about this --

What if you just paid much less and had your PC back to the EXACT way it was before your old hard drive was zapped?
