COMPUTER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
- Computer maintenance is usually one of our weak points. Keeping a computer in good shape is a hard job and we're not willing to waste our time checking and fixing the system. What we need then is a program like Computer Repair.
- This small app analyzes your PC and performs four basic maintenance tasks, namely removing any spyware element, fixing the Registry, sweeping activity tracks away and cleaning junk files. The interface is simple and straightforward: just run it and it will automatically begin scanning.
- However, not all that glitters is gold. Computer Repair doesn't have any configuration options or backup tool, which I would have really appreciated. Also, I noticed that it always finds junk files and other undesirable elements, even if you've just analyzed the whole system. I wonder what sort of cleansing protocols the program uses to consider that my PC is never 100% clean!
Computer Repair is a quick, simple way to run a basic PC maintenance routine

- Windows Repair is a tool which can help you get a damaged PC working again, useful if for example you've just removed a stubborn malware infection and now your system is seriously misbehaving.
- The program's tabbed interface first walks you through some basic recovery steps. There are pointers to some free antivirus tools, for instance, and buttons to check your hard drive for errors, run the System File Checker, and create or restore a System Restore point.
- For the real power here, though, click Start Repairs, select "Custom Mode" and click Start. And here you'll see options to reset Registry and File permissions, re-register system files, remove system policies commonly set by malware, and repair WMI, your firewall, IE, Hosts file, Winsock and DNS cache, and more. Just check the boxes next to the repair you'd like to carry out, click Start and Windows Repair will fix the selected problems for you.
- There's no doubt that Windows Repair includes some powerful options which may be able to help you fix all kinds of odd Windows issues.
- However, this tool can also cause plenty of problems of its own. So choosing to "Repair Winsock", for instance, might get your internet connection working, but could also break some low-level network-related application, such as a firewall. Reinstalling these programs should get them running again, but it's still best to be cautious: apply the Windows Repair tweaks one at a time, and only when you're completely sure they're necessary.
- Windows Repair provides easy access to 30 powerful Windows-fixing options. Just be careful - using a fix which isn't appropriate for your system can cause more problems than it solves. Make sure you have a full system backup before you begin.
