|
| 9/18/2010 9:54:48 AM | My PC keeps slowing down and I have Speed Up My PC bu uniblue and it helps, but is still not at the performance level it should be. I remembered that I have PC Matic on an older model desktop that I used and it made a recognizable difference in the performance on that. I thought it would be a good idea to run a scaan on this laptop to see if I can get better performance. Ron |

| 12/22/2011 3:06:03 AM | Recently having problem of my Windows Firewall not being on when I start up my PC (every time). I'm notified that I am at risk and when I try to activate it from the window that comes up, I am unable to turn the firewall on. So, I then go to the Control Panel and that takes quite awhile to allow me to scroll down to the Firewall icon. I click on it and sometimes it will allow me to turn it on and other times it won't and gives me an error message that I am unable to turn it on. |

| 4/14/2012 10:06:11 AM | This PC overall has been very good. It has been running slowly in the last year and hopefully downloading and using PC Matic will help. The only major drawback to this PC is that the screen is very dim when running on battery power. Again, for it's age this PC has been pretty good. |

|
| 7/10/2009 9:14:01 PM | Sometimes it just runs a bit slow and I'd like it to work faster. Sometimes it will just "freeze" for 30secs or so...nothing that usually has to be rebooted, just annoying. |
