Slow PC optimisation in Grasse
In Grasse, has your PC become so slow it's a real pain to use? Before investing in a new machine, a thorough software cleanup is enough in 70 % of cases. Collection at your home, drop-off at the workshop or remote assistance — often sorted within 48 h.
The 'slow PC' is one of the most common reasons people call. And in most cases, it isn't the hardware: it's the build-up of junk software, failed updates, multiple antivirus programs contradicting each other, and programs launching needlessly at start-up. For €50-80, I get the system running like new without touching the hardware.
My cleanup is far more thorough than a basic CCleaner: clean uninstallation of unnecessary programs, manual removal of PUPs and adware ignored by standard antivirus software, registry cleaning without breaking the system, start-up optimisation, and targeted updating of problematic drivers. Reckon on 1 to 3 h depending on the initial state.
For Grasse, two options: collection at your home (I bring the machine back two days later) or remote assistance to deal as quickly as possible with purely software issues. Many older Grasse residents appreciate that I take the time to explain how to keep the machine clean afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
My PC mainly lags when I open the browser, why?expand_more
A typical case: a browser overloaded with extensions, a toolbar hijacking your searches, a huge cache. Cleanup in 30 min, responsiveness restored — often enough on its own.
My paid antivirus is slowing the PC down, should I keep it?expand_more
Paid antivirus programs (Avast, Norton, McAfee Premium) weigh heavily on older machines. Windows Defender + Malwarebytes (both free) are enough for most uses. A saving of €50-80/year and a faster PC.
Is remote assistance possible from Grasse?expand_more
Yes, and it's often the fastest option for a PC that's slow for software reasons: I take control via RustDesk in 15 min, with no call-out, from €30. You follow everything in real time.
What if the cleanup isn't enough?expand_more
Then it's probably the hardware — the number-one culprit being an ageing mechanical hard drive. The solution: an SSD with identical cloning. Transparent quote, you decide.
Do you work with shops and freelancers in Grasse?expand_more
Yes. The Forfait Zen (€99/year) — two annual services and priority assistance — prevents slowdowns during the busy tourist season.
