Security Virus Protection – Security virus protection helps your computer to avoid getting any viruses in the first place. They are useful because there are many different websites that could harm your computer and if you have protection then it will stop you from going on it which will save your computer from getting a virus. If you don’t use any antivirus software then your computer is at high risk of getting a virus and when it does it will slow everything down. Whereas if you use antivirus protection and you do get a virus then it will try and fight the virus off and restore your computer to how it should be.

Clean Up Tools – Clean up tools are useful because if you have a build up of cookies from different websites it can slow your computer down as all the information is being stored. Also deleting your history and saved passwords can be useful as well so that people aren’t able to access all of your personal information.

Drive Formatting – This can be useful if your computer is running slow as you could back up all your data onto an external hard drive then the hard drive of the computer can be formatted and you can put all your files back on it when it is done and it should be quicker.
