Virus Protection
Virus protection on a computer is essential as it helps to enhance the computer systems performance by speeding up the computer, defragmenting the RAM to allow more memory to be used and form a beneficial computer system. Antivirus software is computer anti virus protection software which is used for recognizing and removing computer viruses, as well as many other types of harmful computer software. This is known as ‘malware’. Antivirus protection can safeguard computer systems against a range of malware, along with , worms, rootkits, and Trojans. Anti-virus software is very important in order to keep your computer secure and to a high performance. Viruses can cause damage to a computer in the way that the virus wipes out significant data, slowing down or shutting down a computer. Anti-virus software’s are used to recognize possible threats to a computer system and block them; yet some viruses encrypt themselves to be different every time, making it impossible inaccessible.

Disk Clean Up
Is a computer maintenance utility that deletes needless files from the Hard Disk on your PC. This can mean many things such as, temporary files and corrupted files. However but more importantly, user files, files you’ve saved to your disk in the past and no longer need. This may be because you have newer versions of them, you have duplicates of the same version but they are in different folders, or because they’re safely stored elsewhere and for the obvious reason in which you have run out of space to store it. This improves the performance as it increases the reliability of of the computer; can clean nonessential virus infected files and programs.

Drive Defragmentation
The purpose of this utility is to organise the hard drive by putting bits of linked data back together so that the files will be stored next to each other. The reason being is that when an application is opened lots of data is used and not always will they be next to each other, they will be scattered across, it will take a long while for the hard drive to be able to locate the correct files to be able to launch the application, which may also stop the application from working. Defragmentation can take a long while depending on how many programs you have on your computer, however it will recognise all the files for it to be able to work. This will increase the speed of the computer, as there will be more space on the hard disk in the process of organising files and other things can be downloaded. It may also start fragmented programs which have stopped working, overall it will give more space on the hard disk allowing it to be faster.

Clean Up Tools
Over a large period of time some files on the computer will not be used and some will be old installation files, and will be taking space on the computer. A clean up utility will delete files that have not been used or are old files, it will give a large amount of free space for other files to be downloaded. A good clean up utility will be able to clean files that are slowing down the computer. The purpose of this utility is increase the speed of your computer when being able to find websites and able to load them up. This will increase the computers boot up time meaning the computer will be able to start up much quicker. It would also increase the performance as there will be lots of free space and the computer will not be packed with files. This means that your computer would have stored previous visited websites through the internet history and will have the data files from that website and will be able to load much quicker. However, sometimes it can be a good thing to remove your history as if a hacker has accessed your computer, the hacker will be able to see what websites you have visited and may be able to steal personal information. Removing your internet history will improve the computers performance, as every time you visit a website and browse around it stores the system cache will keep building up until it slows down the internet speed because it would be full, deleting the history the computer will able to get back its speed.

Firewalls
A firewall is another form of securing which can be added to your computer. Firewalls are computer security systems that act as a barrier to protect your PCs or your network from hackers and uncomplimentary code. They are set up to prevent unauthorized access to a network. Firewalls protect you from offensive software that may come to interfere your systems; this stops intruders from accessing your computer through the inter connection, it also blocks some websites which may contain inappropriate content.The firewall utility filters information coming through the internet connection into another computer. Firewalls help to improve computer performance.
