Slow PC optimisation in Vallauris and Golfe-Juan
Lagging PC, endless boot, pop-ups everywhere, computer that freezes: in Vallauris and Golfe-Juan, I optimise your machine in 1 to 3 h. Often enough to regain decent speed without spending on a new PC. Clear pricing from €50.
Before thinking about changing your PC or even moving to an SSD, start with a thorough software cleanup. In 70% of the cases I handle in Vallauris (particularly among retirees and families), the slowness comes mainly from junk software accumulated over the years: browser toolbars, multiple antivirus programs that conflict with each other, programs that start automatically, pending Windows updates, disk space saturated with temporary files.
My cleanup goes further than an off-the-shelf CCleaner: clean uninstallation of unnecessary programs, removal of malware undetected by standard antivirus (PUPs, adware), startup optimisation keeping only the essentials, targeted updating of problematic drivers, deep clearing of browser caches and temporary files.
For residents of Vallauris and Golfe-Juan, I ideally work at your home: you see what I do, I explain in plain French, and you learn to avoid reinstalling junk after my visit. Many of my retired clients in Vallauris tell me they finally understand why their PC was lagging — teaching is an integral part of my service.

Frequently asked questions
My PC takes 5 minutes to start up — is that fixable without changing the machine?expand_more
Often yes. On 5-8-year-old PCs, 70% of slowness comes from software, not hardware. A thorough 2-3 h cleanup often brings the boot back to 30-60 seconds. If the drive is too old, we top it up with an SSD (separate quote).
I have free Avast / McAfee slowing everything down — should I remove it?expand_more
Often yes. The built-in Windows Defender is enough for most uses, and it is free, integrated, ad-free. I show you how to uninstall it cleanly (leftovers included) and set up light, effective protection.
Do you take the time to explain for someone who is not at all comfortable with computers?expand_more
Yes, it even matters to me. Many of my clients in Vallauris are retired and want to understand. I explain in plain French, no jargon, at your pace. You leave knowing why your PC was lagging and how to avoid the problems coming back.
How long does the optimisation take?expand_more
1 to 3 h depending on the initial condition. For a very cluttered PC (5-7 years without a cleanup), allow around 3 h. For a recent PC that has been lagging for a few weeks, 1 h is often enough.
Do you do it at home in Vallauris?expand_more
Yes, call-out included from €60. It is even advisable so you understand what is done. If you prefer (and to save a few euros), drop-off at the workshop in Le Cannet, returned within 24 h.
