Slow PC optimisation in Antibes
PC lagging in the middle of a production week, unwanted pop-ups, computer that freezes: in Antibes, Juan-les-Pins and La Fontonne, I optimise your machine in 1 to 3 h. Often enough to regain decent speed without changing hardware — a €600-1,000 saving on an unnecessary new PC.
Before thinking about buying a new PC, a serious software cleanup fixes 70% of slowness problems. In Antibes, I handle two typical profiles: remote workers connected to Sophia Antipolis whose work machine slows down after a few years of stacked-up updates, and residents (families, retirees) whose living-room PC has accumulated toolbars, conflicting antivirus programs and junk software over time.
My cleanup goes further than CCleaner: clean uninstallation of unnecessary programs (including registry and file leftovers), removal of malware undetected by standard antivirus (PUPs, adware, advertising agents), startup optimisation keeping only the essentials, targeted updating of problematic drivers, deep clearing of browser caches and temporary files.
For Antibes professionals in a hurry (machine stuck the day before a client delivery), I try to intervene the same day. For private individuals, work done within 24-48 h. At your home in Antibes (call-out included from €60 of work) or at the workshop in Le Cannet, as you prefer.

Frequently asked questions
My work PC became unusable the day before a client delivery — urgent.expand_more
A typical case for Antibes freelancers. If you call me before 4-5 pm, I attempt a visit that evening or early the next day. Diagnosis + cleanup in 2 h in 80% of cases, and you get an operational PC back in time.
My paid antivirus slows everything down — should I cancel my subscription?expand_more
Often yes. The built-in Windows Defender (free) has become very good for most uses. If you want extra protection for browsing, Malwarebytes Browser Guard (free) is enough. A €40-80/year saving and a faster PC.
You won't break my work tools (Outlook, company VPN, business software)?expand_more
No, that is the whole point: surgical cleanup, I do not touch the software you use. Before starting, I list with you what absolutely must keep working, and I test after the cleanup.
Is optimisation enough or do I need an SSD too?expand_more
It depends on the diagnosis. If the slowness comes mainly from software, optimisation is enough (a €100-150 saving). If the mechanical drive is old, the SSD is the next step. I tell you honestly after diagnosis, never gratuitous upselling.
How long for a standard optimisation?expand_more
1 to 3 h depending on the initial condition. For a very cluttered PC (5+ years without a cleanup), 3 h. For a recent PC that has been lagging for a few weeks, 1 h is enough.
