Over time certain files don't get put back, or they get put back in wrong places.

When this happens on hard drive it leads to fragmentation. Think of defragmenting as going through all of files on your desk, and in cabinet, and putting them all back in order in correct folders.

Just as staying in this state of disorganization would lead to a significant loss in your own productivity, same thing happens to your computer.

Eventually this even causes crashes because of how scattered all of information gets.

Disk fragmentation can even shorten lifespan of your computer because your hard drive works so hard that it wears out faster.

So one step solution for this part of computer maintenance, run defragmenting tool that comes with windows at least once every couple of weeks.

Do this by clicking Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, then click Disk Defragmenter. Choose disk you want to defragment and click defragment button.

Alternatively you can get software that will automatically keep your disk defragmented, like Diskeeper by Executive Software.

Take care of your pc maintenance and you will continue to enjoy speed you experienced when you first made that investment!

In 2002, company received complaints regarding their product. Market studies confirmed that Vioxx raises risks of serious cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes, as well as other life-threatening side effects, such as, blood clots, angina and nonbacterial meningitis, severe intestinal damage, ulcerations and bleeding, and kidney damage. Other minor side effects include flu symptoms, weakness, loss of appetite, rash or pail skin, swelling of hand feet and other extremities.

It was not until September 30, 2004 that Merck officially announced of voluntary recall of Vioxx from all markets worldwide.

So, here is a lesson we have to learn. We can not trust any drug, even if it is produced by leading companies. You will never know what it is going to cause you. Always ask for a doctor’s prescription. Learn from experience and do not just go for new things that come your way. It’s very risky, especially if it concerns your health.
