Happy New Year!

On new years eve New Yorkers (and anyone else in the Western hemisphere  were treated to  a blue moon.

Blue moons aren’t all that unusual, occurring every 2 1/2 years or so. But a New Year’s Eve blue moon is somewhat more remarkable — we haven’t had one since 1990!

Well  this promises that  2010 is going to be a remarkable year.

After the long holiday its hard to get into the swing of things back at work.  So I will  keep it light. The talk of the month is new years resolution so here we go I can’t resist……

New Years Resolution # 1 – Boost My PC Boot Time

How to ?

Defrag your PC  – You have two options.

• Use the  free inbuilt windows defrag tool. To access this tool click on ‘Control Panel’, select ‘Administrative Tools’, select ‘Computer Management‘, Select ‘Disk Defragmenter’ finally select the disc you wish to defrag.  NB. Allow plenty of time for completion.

• Defrag Professionally  – I used the inbuilt defrag tool for many years until the release of PerfectDisk. This is the only disk defragmenter certified by Microsoft for Windows 7. I would go for this option anytime.

New Years Resolution # -2 – Boost my Internet Speed and Cleanup System Clutter

How to ?

You can try out the free tool CCleaner which I often use and always see a remarkable difference. However if you want to  say goodbye to PC headaches forever I would recommend System Mechanic.

New Years Resolution #3 - Shop and Bank Privately and Securely

How to ?

For novice or professionals you need to make sure you are secure and protected online.  First things first change your Passwords. Great tip use a password generator like Roboform free of charge.

Last but not least keep your security software upto date. If you don’t already own one the top rated antivirus software  in 2009 included  Bitdefender Internet Security 2010, Steganos Internet Security, Vipre Antivirus Antispyware and Lavasoft Personal Firewall.

Personally my favorite is the latest release of  Bitdefender Internet Security 2010. What I like most about it is the full protection you get without slowing your PC down.

Once you have your computer maintenance and security  all in place well done. You are off to a good start!

Softwarecasa is very optimistic about the new year our company has grown thanks to you and we look forward to 2010 as we continue to release new products so you can have a one stop shop for all your Software needs.  Checkout two of our latest additions.
