Norton PC Tune-Up GIVEAWAY!

I recently received an access card for Norton PC Tune-Up, a service offered by Norton if your computer is starting up slowly or runs slowly when trying to run several programs.


To say that my computer was starting up slowly is putting it mildly. I would turn it on and walk away in the mornings. While starting up, I would make my coffee and do various other tasks that caught my attention. So often, I'd come back to the computer fully expecting it to be ready to go only to find it still in the process of waking up. Short of offering it a sip of my coffee, I had no idea how to fix this.


When we received the access card, I handed it over to my husband and he carried out the task of calling for the service. They way it works, you call in and give Norton access to your computer remotely. While you are on the phone with a technician, he/she walks you through what they are doing and asks you various questions about the problems you have. Half an hour later, you're done and your computer issues are (hopefully!) behind you.


The tech was so nice and helpful and explained everything to my husband as he performed it. Our computer now starts up quite a bit faster than before and hasn't shut me down in the middle of any important tasks in over a week.


The super ladies over at Mom Central offered up three access cards for me to give to my readers! If you are having problems at start up or running slowly when you are multi-tasking, this service could certainly help you!


To enter, just leave a comment on this post and I'll randomly draw a winner on Friday, December 5. Good luck and remember, you must leave a valid email address to win!

My computer has decided recently to randomly turn off or freeze--or both--when I am running a couple of programs at a time. No idea why! Someone who knows things would be an amazing help!
