Slow PC Optimisation in Cannes
In Cannes, is your PC slowing down to the point of becoming unusable? Before investing in a new machine, a thorough software cleanup is enough in 70% of cases. Work done in 24-48 h from the workshop in Le Cannet, at your home or by collection.
The 'slow PC' is one of the most frequent reasons I get called from Cannes. And in most cases, it's not your hardware that's at fault — it's the build-up of junk software, failed updates, multiple antiviruses that contradict each other, and programs that launch at startup for no reason. For €50-80, I restore the system to new without touching the hardware.
My cleanup is much more thorough than a basic CCleaner: clean uninstallation of unnecessary programs, manual removal of PUP and adware undetected by standard antiviruses, cleaning of the Windows registry without breaking the system, startup optimisation keeping only the essentials, and targeted updating of problematic drivers. Budget for 1 to 3 h depending on the initial condition.
For Cannes residents, I offer two options: home collection (Croisette, Carnot, La Bocca, Suquet…) — you give me the PC, I bring it back the next day — or on-site work if you want to see what's being done step by step. Many Cannes freelancers prefer the second option to make the most of the opportunity and learn to maintain their machine.

Frequently asked questions
My PC is only slow when I open the browser, why?expand_more
Typical case: a browser overloaded with extensions, a toolbar hijacking searches, a huge cache. A 30-min cleanup and the browser regains its responsiveness. Often enough.
My Avast Premium antivirus is slowing down my PC, will you replace it?expand_more
Yes — Avast Premium and other paid antiviruses are heavy on older machines. The built-in Windows Defender + Malwarebytes (free) is more than enough for 95% of uses. An immediate saving of €50-80/year and a faster machine.
How long will my PC be with you?expand_more
24 to 48 h on average for Cannes. The optimisation itself takes 1-3 h, but I batch jobs together. Possible same-day express for a professional emergency (a slot is set aside).
If the optimisation isn't enough, what do you suggest?expand_more
If the PC is still slow after cleanup, it's probably the hardware. Culprit no. 1: an ageing mechanical hard drive. The solution: an SSD with identical cloning. A transparent quote, and you decide.
Do you work with Cannes freelancers and self-employed professionals?expand_more
Yes — it's an important customer base in Cannes. The Zen plan (€99/year) is particularly well suited: two annual servicings, priority assistance, and no more slowness problems in peak season.
