The local telephone service has been less than reliable over the last few days; lots of crackles and some disconnects.
It was particularly flaky this afternoon and I got *broadband speed checker* to do a test. 500k rather than the usual 5 meg.
While I was there I downloaded *PC speed check* on the basis that Norton said it was OK and it claimed to be free!
The check is free however, to activate the program of improvements you have to cough up some money £19?
The report gave high importance to 17 unidentified items on system startup. As it is a desktop PC and runs permanently I don't see this is an issue.
It was happy with background applications, unnecessary services and disc defragmentation.
System and network settings, 102 items, were said to be of medium importance.
High importance was given to 17876 *junk files*!
What does it all mean? What is a junk file and why can't I get rid by other means?
