Slow PC Optimisation in Le Cannet
A PC that lags, an endless boot-up, a browser flooded with pop-ups, a computer frozen mid-use: in Le Cannet, I restore your machine to new at software level in 1 to 3 h. Often enough to recover a decent speed without changing any hardware.
Before thinking about changing your PC or even installing an SSD, start with a thorough software cleanup. In 70% of the cases I handle in Le Cannet, the slowness comes mainly from junk software accumulated over the years: browser toolbars, multiple antiviruses that contradict each other, programs that launch at startup for no reason, pending Windows updates, saturated storage.
My cleanup goes further than a basic CCleaner. Clean uninstallation of unnecessary programs, cleaning of the Windows registry (without breaking the system, which is harder than it looks), removal of malware undetected by standard antiviruses (PUP, adware), startup optimisation by keeping only the essentials, and targeted updating of problematic drivers.
For Le Cannet residents, the optimisation is done either at the workshop (the fastest, you get the machine back in half a day) or at your home if you want to see what's being done step by step — I like to explain along the way, and many of my Le Cannet customers learn to avoid reinstalling dodgy things after my visit.

Software optimisation. If the hardware is also at fault (slow HDD, insufficient RAM), an SSD or RAM quote comes on top.

Frequently asked questions
My Avast / McAfee antivirus is slowing down my PC, should I remove it?expand_more
Often yes, especially the free versions crammed with notifications. Windows 10/11 has Defender, which is more than enough for most uses. I show you how to disable it cleanly and clear out the residue.
My browser has a toolbar I never wanted, will you remove it?expand_more
Of course. It's a classic: a program installed 6 months ago added its Chrome/Edge extension without asking. Removing the extension + cleaning up the default search engine + checking the other browsers. 15 min, clean and lasting.
How long does a standard optimisation take?expand_more
1 to 3 h depending on the PC's initial condition. For a heavily cluttered machine (5 years with no cleanup), budget for closer to 3 h. For a fairly recent PC that has been lagging for a few weeks: 1 h is often enough.
Is the optimisation enough, or do I need an SSD?expand_more
It depends on the diagnosis. If your PC only lags because of software, the optimisation is enough (and you save €100-150). If the hard drive is old and worn out, the SSD is the next step. I'll tell you honestly after the diagnosis.
Do you do it at home in Le Cannet?expand_more
Yes, free call-out. It's even recommended for seniors who want to understand what's being done. I set up, I explain as I go, and you see the PC become smooth again live.
