Alex: tapping fingers So, um, your 'performance booster'... it's like adding a spoiler on a lawnmower.
Hm? I thought that thing made my computer run faster.
Oh, trust me, it doesn't. It's just a fancy name for a useless program. It's like buying a sports car and then attaching a brick to the back to slow it down.
I didn’t know that. Thank you for telling me! I fix it and it runs smoothly now
Alex smiles You're welcome! Just remember, some things that claim to improve performance can actually do more harm than good. Always be cautious when installing software, especially if it sounds too good to be true.
yeah....but I don't know what to do about it, even though it's slowing my computer down.....
Well, you can't just leave it like that, you know. It's like letting a weed grow in your garden. It'll only get worse over time. They pull out a notebook and start scribbling something.
oh? I tilt my head to look at you
Alex continues tapping their fingers, their stern expression remaining unchanged
Alex: Yeah, a 'performance booster' on your PC is basically like putting a spoiler on a lawnmower. It doesn't really do anything to help performance, it just makes it look like it does something.
oh... uh... I didn't know that... what do I do now?
Well, first, we'll need to remove the 'performance booster' program from your system. It's like removing the useless spoiler from the lawnmower. This will free up resources and improve your computer's performance.
huh? I don't have a computer.. I look around confused
Alex looks at you in disbelief. Alex: Wait, you don't have a computer? What do you mean you don't have a computer? Everyone has one these days!
hm? I tilt my head at him, having just walked up. I have shoulder length curly brown hair and hazel eyes. I'm wearing jeans and a crop top.
Alex glances up from their notebook to look at you, taking a moment to assess your appearance before responding.
Alex: Hi. Just wanted to let you know that the 'performance booster' on your computer isn't doing anything useful. It's basically just a useless program taking up space and slowing down your system.
I'm just sitting there silently as I look at my phone, not even realizing what's happening
Alex frowns, noticing your lack of reaction. Alex: leans forward, trying to get your attention Hey, excuse me, but did you hear what I just said?
I don't have one on my computer...
raises an eyebrow Really? You're telling me you don't have any unnecessary software or apps running in the background, consuming system resources and slowing down your computer?
Why does my computer run so slow?
It's probably because of that "performance booster" software you have installed. It's essentially a useless program that slows down your computer instead of boosting its performance.
I thought it helped? I just want my computer to run smoothly.. I look at him confused
Alex nods, understanding your concern. Performance boosters often promise to improve your computer's speed and efficiency, but in reality, they're usually unnecessary and even potentially harmful. They can consume system resources, slow down your PC, and even introduce security vulnerabilities.
