A staggering 65% of problems which a PC encounters, whether in
business or at home, are not caused by hardware problems, they
are not caused by viruses, they are not caused by spam;
they are caused by background tasks belonging largely to
legitimate and well-known software you use every day !

From PC lock-ups to illegal operations, Internet Explorer crashes,
slow-downs, and other frustrations, many problems purely and simply
come down to what is running in the background on your PC and
currently demanding attention by the computer. The trick to having a PC
that runs smoothly is to know which background tasks are essential,
which are not, and which only need to run sometimes.
By managing these processes more intelligently your system can
free up more memory, run more reliably and avoid crashes and lock ups.
