HOW I FINALLY DID GET THE EDGE OVER MY PC’s

My name is Frank, and no...I don’t own a lot of computers. But I do take care of, and manage more than 85 PC’s and a few servers. OK! Yes! …. you guessed it! I’m a professional Network- and System administrator at the local branch of a mid-sized company. And if I must say so myself, I’ve eventually got me one smooth running network environment, where normally, everything works just fine and without any real problems.

One Friday a few hours after work, I met up with some co-workers for a beer and some serious bonding, as we do on a regular basis. Than my cell phone rang.
I first enjoyed my new jazzy ring tone for a while and then I finally answered it. It was Janice, the secretary to our senior branch manager, and she was totally frustrated. Our manager was leaving in the morning for an important meeting with our CEO. She still had to finish some special reports that he would need first thing in the morning. That afternoon after work she had some stuff to do with the kids so she had taken the work home to finish it on her own computer.

And now…this computer was the source of her frustration. She had not used it much these last few weeks, but when she had done so it worked without any problems. But…….today…. it was giving her hell! It worked real slowly at first and would eventually freeze. This kept on happening over and over as she tried restarting the computer a few times. Completely frustrated Janice had finally decided that I should be the one who would come to her rescue. I promised I’d let her use my laptop while I checked her computer.
So….I drank up, went home for my laptop and then went to see Janice.

Soon Janice’s fingers were flying across my laptop’s keyboard. Meanwhile I started with the routine checks. I found the computer was very busy doing something, but I couldn’t find out what exactly was keeping it so occupied it could not even pay attention to my mouse clicks and keystrokes. I restarted once again now entering safe mode. This allowed me to do a virus scan, and also a spyware scan. Both found and removed malicious code, but back in normal mode I soon found the problem was still there. I even tried to do a system restore a few times, but it was all in vain.

I promised Janice I’d search the net for advice and hopefully a solution……

In doing so I happened across this website PcRunSmooth.com.

I’m not sure why I was drawn to it, maybe because the name described just what I needed…a smooth running PC. I decided to check it out. It was the best thing I did that weekend.

The site was about this program called PConPoint.

I read all about it. It checked for various types of errors besides viruses and spyware. We’re talking registry errors and integrity, installation and un-installation errors, invalid application paths and much more errors.

I decided to check it out, so I downloaded this neat little PConPoint program.

Next Monday, back at the office (Janice had made her deadline and was happy once again) I installed the program on Janice’s PC and did a scan which ran very fast. It did not take more then 10 minutes to finish. I had found 157 errors in different areas. Believe it or not… after a restart the computer ran as if it had gotten wings. I was as if there had never been any problem. PConPoint has ever since been a valuable asset in my troubleshooting toolkit!!

Wow!! I was like a kid in a candy store. I scanned all the computers on my network and literally fixed 1000’s of errors in total on many machines.

I’ve passed the new found magic on to a few of my buddies, and they’ve all been ‘saved’ by it on several occasions.
