What should be checked?
Each area that is marked will be checked. Remove check marks
correspondingly to leave out certain areas.
Security programs are active and updated: If you have a virus scanner,
firewall, and anti-spyware software installed and registered as such in the
system, then MAGIX PC Check Live will test whether these are active and
current. If this type of software is not installed, then a warning will appear.
Superfluous files: Checks your PC for temporary files and for a full Windows
Recycle Bin. You can set when messages about garbage data should appear
below in percentages.
Hard drive speed: If blocks of data are fragmented on the hard drive due to
read and delete processes (fragmented files), then your hard drive will react
slower. This check informs you that your hard drive should be defragmented,
i.e. cleaned up.
Hard disk status: The "S.M.A.R.T." technology checks your hard drive's
functionality: It checks whether temperature, reaction time, etc. are in order
and whether there are surface errors that could damage your hard drive in the
long run. Activate this function to avoid sudden breakdown of your hard drive
without a data backup.
Hard drive memory: Specify here when a warning should appear in case of
reduced memory. This enables you to react in advance.
Processor temperature: Is the processor operating in the normal range, or is it
too warm? Before there is a failure because the processor is too hot (above
65°C), you will receive a warning if this function is active.
New drivers for your devices: Checks the device drivers installed on the PC. If
these are no longer up to date, then a message will appear that new drivers
should be installed.
New updates for installed products: MAGIX PC Check Live checks all installed
programs – in the case of MAGIX programs only the registered ones – to see if
new updates are available online. If this is the case, then a dialog will appear to
download and install the updates.
