		<description><![CDATA[<p>Want to avoid lots of hassle, a big repair bill, a butt-load of heartache, and a zombie apocalypse? Then get your <strong>free PC health check</strong> now…</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning I turned on the ol&rsquo; computer&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; and within 30 seconds got hit with an error message.</p>
<p>A rundll problem, apparently.</p>
<p>Oh, boy &mdash; here we go again.</p>
<p>But instead of trying to fix it myself, I just fired up <strong>PC Health Advisor</strong>.</p>
<p>And 2 minutes later it was fixed&#8230;</p>
<img src="/images/pcha-scan-results.png" alt="PC Health Advisor scan results" width="560" height="191" class="screenshot" />
<p>&#8230; along with 84 other problems.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.utilitysoftwarereviews.com/download.php?id=pc-health-advisor" rel="nofollow" class="golink">Get your free PC health check &mdash; click to download PC Health Advisor</a></p>
<h2>But PC Health Advisor does more than just fix errors&#8230;</h2>
<p>A whole bunch more&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>It optimises your computer&#8217;s speed</strong> (That means your computer will run as fast as when it was new &mdash; if not faster.)</p>
<p><strong>It deletes junk files that clog up the system</strong> (If your computer&#8217;s more than a few weeks old, I guarantee it&#8217;ll have a mountain of junk files crippling its performance.)</p>
<p><strong>It updates your device drivers</strong> (That means your hardware devices will keep working properly and efficiently).</p>
<p><strong>It includes 7 essential maintenance tools</strong> (Including a Process Manager, Startup Manager, Browser Object Manager, Duplicate File Finder, Restore Point Manager, and Disk Defragmenter. These help keep your computer firing on all cylinders.)</p>
<p><strong>It helps you open files you can&#8217;t open</strong> (Ever tried to open a file, but couldn&#8217;t because Windows didn&#8217;t recognize the file type? The File Extension Manager will tell you what software you need to open it.)</p>
<h2>Plus&#8230;</h2>
<p><strong>It includes a scheduler for automatic maintenance</strong> (No need to remember to run regular scans &mdash; just sit back and let PC Health Advisor do its magic automatically.)</p>
<p><strong>It scans for malware</strong> (We&#8217;re talking about viruses, Trojan horses, spyware &mdash; and a bunch of other nasty stuff you absolutely DO NOT want lurking on your hard-drive.)</p>
<p><strong>It protects your privacy</strong> (That means no one will find out what files you&#8217;ve opened, what Websites you&#8217;ve visited, or any of your other computer activities.)</p>
<p><strong>And of course&#8230; it fixes thousands of computer errors</strong> (It fixes problems related to shared DLLs, application paths, file/path references, program shortcuts, COM/ActiveX object entries, uninstall entries, font entries, and shell extensions etc.)</p>
<p>Phew!</p>
<h2>Why so many tools?</h2>
<p>Because the sad truth is, <strong>most computers are riddled with problems</strong>.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because most people are <em>not</em> computer experts. So they aren&#8217;t aware how important regular computer maintenance is.</p>
<p>But it is important.</p>
<p>Especially if you want to avoid a lot of hassle.</p>
<p>And <strong>a butt-load of heartache</strong>.</p>
<p>And a scary big repair bill.</p>
<p>And a zombie apocalypse.</p>
<p>(OK &mdash; I lied about the zombie apocalypse. But the rest of the stuff&#8217;s true.)</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s why PC Health Advisor comes packed with so many tools.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s got everything you need to <span class="highlight"><strong>keep your computer healthy&#8230; and purring like a kitten</strong></span>.</p>
<p>So let me ask you&#8230;</p>
<h2>Are you ready to give your PC some TLC?</h2>
<p>Then all you gotta do is click a button to get your <strong>free PC health check</strong>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Are you making this costly computer blunder? Probably - which means it's gonna cost you a butt-load of money and heartache some day soon...</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine switching on your computer and&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; nothing happens.</p>
<p>Just a cold, black screen staring back at you.</p>
<p>And no matter how many times you hit the power button&#8230; nothing happens.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s <strong>dead as a doornail</strong>.</p>
<h2>And then it hits you&#8230;</h2>
<p>That means you can&#8217;t access any of your files.</p>
<p>Your documents, your photos, your music, your ebooks&#8230;</p>
<p>The problem?</p>
<p>Your hard-drive is toast.</p>
<h2>There are 2 kinds of computer user</h2>
<p>Computer techs have a saying&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>There are two kinds of computer user: Those who have experienced a hard-drive failure. And those who have <em>yet to</em> experience a hard-drive failure.</p></blockquote>
<p>In other words &mdash; it&#8217;s not a matter of <em><strong>if</strong></em>&#8230; but <em><strong>when</strong></em> your hard-drive fails.</p>
<p>And once it fails, <strong>you&#8217;re hosed</strong>.</p>
<p>It happened to a friend of mine a couple of years ago.</p>
<p>He had to send his hard-drive to a specialist file recovery service.</p>
<p>Man, they charged him a small fortune.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because they could. Because they knew he had no other options.</p>
<p>Oh &mdash; and it took 6 weeks before he got any of his files back.</p>
<p>So&#8230; how can you stop this nightmare happening to you?</p>
<h2>Option one: Use a backup hard-drive</h2>
<p>You can get an external hard-drive and backup your files to it.</p>
<p>Of course, with an external drive, you&#8217;ll need to keep it plugged into your computer for the backup software to do its thing.</p>
<p>Or, if you have a desktop computer, you can fit an internal slave drive.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll need some backup software &mdash; something like Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image.</p>
<p>(Or not &mdash; some external hard-drives come with backup software already installed.)</p>
<p>You may also want to use some encryption software if your files are sensitive.</p>
<h2>Option two: Use an online backup service</h2>
<p>If you don&#8217;t wanna mess around with extra hard-drives and software, then the easier option is to use an <a href="/visit.php?id=my-pc-backup" class="golink" rel="nofollow">online backup service</a>.</p>
<p>All you have to do is sign-up, and a bit of software does the rest.</p>
<p>Your files are then automatically uploaded to a secure server every day. (Or as often as you want.)</p>
<p>Super-easy.</p>
<p>Plus, there are a few benefits over using a backup drive.</p>
<p><strong>First</strong> &mdash; you get unlimited storage, so you&#8217;ll never run out of space.</p>
<p><strong>Second</strong> &mdash; you can back-up more than one computer.</p>
<p><strong>Third</strong> &mdash; your files are encrypted, so they&#8217;re totally secure and safe from prying eyes.</p>
<p><strong>Fourth</strong> &mdash; you can access your files from anywhere.</p>
<p>Pretty cool, eh?</p>
<p>It makes backing-up your precious files easier than falling off a log.</p>
<h2>Choose your poison</h2>
<p>Which option you choose is up to you.</p>
<p>But &mdash; if you value your files, then whatever you do &mdash; choose one.</p>
<p>Because when disaster strikes, it&#8217;s gonna save you a butt-load of heartache.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>If you have misbehaving hardware because of a corrupt or damaged device driver, then here are your 4 options to fix or repair it...</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, how do you repair a corrupt device driver?</p>
<p>Uh&#8230; you don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>You have to re-install the driver that&#8217;s giving you trouble.</p>
<p>Which means you&#8217;re gonna need your original driver installation disk.</p>
<p>And if you don&#8217;t have it?</p>
<p>Then you could try searching the hardware manufacturer&#8217;s website.</p>
<p>This is actually a better option, because you&#8217;ll be able to install the latest driver version. So it should have a few more bugs worked out, which means it should be more stable.</p>
<p>Or you could try searching a driver download site.</p>
<p>But be careful with this last option.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because some driver files may be labelled incorrectly. And that means you may end up downloading a different files than the ones you think you&#8217;re downloading.</p>
<p>Plus &mdash; there&#8217;s a risk of the files being infected with something nasty. So be sure to scan them for malware before opening them.</p>
<h2>And if you still can&#8217;t find the drivers you need?</h2>
<p>Then your only option is to use driver update software.</p>
<p>This option will give you <strong>instant access to millions of up-to-date drivers</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; all ready to download and install with a couple of simple mouse clicks.</p>
<p>And the added benefit is, you can update all your other drivers to latest versions at the same time.</p>
<p>For 3 awesome driver updaters, check out my <a href="/compare-driver-updaters/" class="golink">driver update software comparison</a> page.</p>
<p>A free scan will reveal all the drivers they have available for your computer.</p>]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Ever get so frustrated with your computer's slowness that you feel like throwing it out the effin' window? Here's the culprit...</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever get so frustrated with your computer&#8217;s slowness&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; that you feel like <strong>throwing it out the effin&#8217; window</strong>?</p>
<p>You&#8217;re not alone.</p>
<p>I think most people feel like that at some point.</p>
<p>So &mdash; here are the top 5 things making your computer crawl&#8230;</p>
<h2>1. Ravaged by system errors</h2>
<p>The average computer can be swarming with hundreds &mdash; even thousands &mdash; of system errors.</p>
<p>Stuff like DLL errors, file association errors, broken shortcuts etc.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re simply caused by everyday use.</p>
<p>So <strong>it&#8217;s not your fault</strong>. You&#8217;re not doing anything wrong.</p>
<p>But they&#8217;re unavoidable.</p>
<h2>2. Choked by junk files</h2>
<p>Every time you use your computer, it creates a butt-load of temporary files.</p>
<p><strong>A butt-load</strong>.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re talking browser cache, temporary Internet files, document revisions, duplicate files&#8230;</p>
<p>And that means you have a mountain of junk clogging up your computer.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s eating up your valuable hard-drive space.</p>
<h2>3. Crippled by a fragmented hard-drive</h2>
<p>When you save a file, fragments get stored all over your hard-drive.</p>
<p>Not all in one place, as you&#8217;d expect&#8230; but scattered.</p>
<p>So whenever you open a file, your computer has to scurry around searching for all the pieces.</p>
<p>And that takes time.</p>
<h2>4. Hammered by outdated or faulty drivers</h2>
<p>Your computer uses driver files to &#8220;talk&#8221; to your hardware devices.</p>
<p>But if those driver files are corrupt or outdated&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; then that device may not be running at full throttle.</p>
<h2>5. Clobbered by lousy system settings</h2>
<p>Right out of the box, your computer isn&#8217;t properly optimised for speed.</p>
<p>Good news is &mdash; there are dozens of settings that can be tweaked to unleash its true potential&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; and make that puppy fly.</p>
<h2>The simple fix</h2>
<p>PC Health Advisor can quickly fix all these problems&#8230; and a bunch more.</p>
<p>It can transform your computer from a simpering wimp into <strong>a fire-breathing powerhouse</strong>&#8230; with a few simple mouse clicks.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Got a file on your computer you want to open, but Windows can't open it? Then this will save you a boat-load of time, frustration and hassle...</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you go to open a file on your computer, but then&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; you get the dreaded &#8220;<strong>Windows cannot open this file:</strong>&#8221; dialogue box.</p>
<p>Uh oh.</p>
<p>Now what?</p>
<p>Well, you have 2 options.</p>
<h2>The hard option&#8230;</h2>
<p>Your first option is to try opening the file with every program on your computer.</p>
<p>Yeah &mdash; it&#8217;s a bit of a song and dance, but here&#8217;s how you do it:</p>
<p>First, right-click on your file, and from the dialogue box, choose &#8220;<strong>Open with</strong>&#8221; then &#8220;<strong>Choose program&#8230;</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>Now select one program at a time and see what happens.</p>
<p>If that program doesn&#8217;t open it, rinse and repeat until one does.</p>
<p>A quick heads up: If you have heaps of programs installed on your computer, now may be a good time to stick the kettle on, because this is gonna take a while.</p>
<p>And after all that&#8230; if none of the programs can open it?</p>
<p>Then <strong>you&#8217;re hosed</strong>.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s time to put on your detective hat and start pounding the search engines for answers.</p>
<h2>Or the easy option&#8230;</h2>
<p>Your second option is the easy one: Use a program called FileCure.</p>
<p>After installing it, all you need to do is right-click on the file you can&#8217;t open.</p>
<p>From the dialogue box select &#8220;<strong>Scan with FileCure</strong>&#8221;.</p>
<p>Bam!</p>
<p>FileCure instantly tells you what program you need to open the file.</p>
<p>And if you don&#8217;t have that program installed on your computer?</p>
<p>No problemo&#8230;</p>
<p>Because FileCure will guide you to the necessary software so you can download it.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s it &mdash; you&#8217;re back in business, my friend.</p>
<p>Pretty cool.</p>
<p>And you just <strong>saved yourself a butt-load of time and hassle</strong>.</p>
<p>Click one of these buttons if you wanna give FileCure a try.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.utilitysoftwarereviews.com/download.php?id=filecure" rel="nofollow" title="download FileCure now"><img src="/images/download-250-50.png" alt="download FileCure now" class="download" height="50" width="250" /></a><a href="http://www.utilitysoftwarereviews.com/visit.php?id=filecure" rel="nofollow" title="visit the FileCure website"><img src="/images/visit-250-50.png" alt="visit the FileCure website" class="visit" height="50" width="250" /></a></p>

<p>You&#8217;ve hammered the search engines.</p>
<p>And you&#8217;ve scoured every driver download site&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; and still can&#8217;t find the drivers you need.</p>
<p>What now?</p>
<p>Well, one option is to use driver update software. In particular Driver Detective.</p>

<p>Well, it scans your computer for missing, outdated or damaged drivers.</p>
<p>And all you have to do is click a button to download and install your new drivers.</p>
<p>Easy as that.</p>
<p>And best of all &mdash; the whole shebang takes less than 15 minutes.</p>

<p>Today was one of those days for me.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>What secrets could your computer reveal? Discover how to protect yourself and your computer from snoopers, and avoid embarrassment...</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favourite films is &#8220;Sneakers&#8221;.</p>
<p>It stars Robert Redford as a computer hacker.</p>
<p>And he&#8217;s blackmailed into stealing a top secret black box from a company called &#8220;Setec Astronomy&#8221;.</p>
<p>With a little help from his friends, he learns that the black box can break any encryption code.</p>
<p>And while playing Scrabble, he realises &#8220;Setec Astronomy&#8221; is an anagram of&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; you guessed it: <strong>too many secrets</strong>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s when he realises how valuable the black box is.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a cool film.</p>
<p>But talking of secrets&#8230;</p>
<h2>How many secrets could your computer reveal?</h2>
<p>The reason I ask, is because your computer keeps a record of all your activities.</p>
<ul class="warning">
<li>Every website you&#8217;ve visited&#8230;</li>
<li>Every video you&#8217;ve watched&#8230;</li>
<li>Every picture you&#8217;ve ogled&#8230;</li>
<li>Every file you&#8217;ve downloaded or shared&#8230;</li>
<li>Every minute you&#8217;ve spent goofing off on Facebook&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Every damn thing.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a scary thought, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s storing this mountain of evidence in dozens of files and folders &mdash; including index.dat files, temp files, and protected system folders.</p>
<p>Erasing your browser history <strong>won&#8217;t do jack to protect you</strong> from prying eyes.</p>
<p>And you can&#8217;t just delete these files because your computer won&#8217;t work without them.</p>
<p>You need to &#8220;cleanse&#8221; the files with specialist software.</p>
<p>So &mdash; if your computer&#8217;s secrets could cost you your job, your relationship, your friendship, your reputation&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; or leave you embarrassed and humiliated, then&#8230;</p>
<h2>You gotta check out Privacy Controls</h2>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because with one click it cleanses your computer of sensitive information to <strong>U.S. Department of Defense standards</strong>.</p>
<p>It overwrites files with random data multiple times so there&#8217;s absolutely no trace of the file ever existing.</p>
<p>Zip. Zilch. Nada.</p>
<p>It also includes a secure file shredder so you can erase specific files.</p>
<p>And the best part &mdash; it includes a scheduler so you can set it to remove the evidence of your activities as often as you like.</p>
<p>So you&#8217;ll never have to squirm at the thought of people snooping around your computer.</p>
<p>Or wake up in a cold sweat worrying that your computer&#8217;s secrets are going to land you in deep doo-doo.</p>
<p>Click one of these buttons and give Privacy Controls a try.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.utilitysoftwarereviews.com/download.php?id=privacy-controls" rel="nofollow" title="download Privacy Controls now"><img src="/images/download-250-50.png" alt="download Privacy Controls now" class="download" height="50" width="250" /></a><a href="http://www.utilitysoftwarereviews.com/visit.php?id=privacy-controls" rel="nofollow" title="visit the Privacy Controls website"><img src="/images/visit-250-50.png" alt="visit the Privacy Controls website" class="visit" height="50" width="250" /></a></p>
