3.7. Optimization Tools
3.7.1. How do I improve my system performance?
The system performance depends not only on the hardware configuration,
such as the CPU load, memory usage and hard disk space. It is also directly
connected to your software configuration and to your data management.
These are the main actions you can take with Bitdefender to improve your
system's speed and performance:
● “Optimize your system performance with a single click” (p. 64)
● “Scan your system periodically” (p. 64)
Optimize your system performance with a single click
The OneClick Optimizer option saves you valuable time when you want a
quick way to improve your system performance by rapidly scanning, detecting
and cleaning useless files.
To start the OneClick Optimizer process:
1. Click Utilities on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.
2. Click the OPTIMIZE MY DEVICE.
3. Let Bitdefender search for files that can be deleted, then click the
OPTIMIZE button to finish the process.
For more information about how you can improve the speed of your computer
with a single click, refer to “Optimizing your system speed with a single click”
(p. 157).
Scan your system periodically
Your system speed and its general behavior can also be affected by threats.
Make sure to scan your system periodically, at least once a week.
It is recommended to use the System Scan because it scans for all types of
threats endangering the security of your system and it also scans inside
archives.
To start the System Scan:
1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.
