How to Prevent PUPs and Optimize Your PC?
According to the feedback of some users, Norton doesn’t block the pop-ups of what was already installed or they unknowingly installed. Some applications are not malicious by the criteria of Norton or that of other antivirus software, so I think the best way to prevent the unwelcome programs from getting in is to pay more attention when you visit a web page, open an email, download and install an application.
And here are several things you can do to optimize your PC performance:
Keep your Windows up to date – Average users can install updates without the help of professionals. Modern versions of Windows are even set to install updates automatically out of the box, so you may not even have to do any of this updating work yourself.
Free up space by removing files and programs – If you’ve been using your machine for a while, you can probably free up disk space by removing the redundant files, and uninstall the needless programs by using Special Uninstaller, just like you can easily uninstall Security Monitor Pro.
Optimize Startup – Open Task Manager (right-click the task bar and select Start Task Manager), and click over to the Startup tab, to easily manage your startup programs without installing any other software.
