The Super Secret Upgrade Every Computer User Desperately Wants

WorldStart's Tech Tips WorldStart

ws - 2014-03-03

IT'S FINALLY HERE!

The super-ultra-amazing-unbelievable-incredible-fantastic software suite that's going to take your computer back to the speeds it had when it was BRAND NEW is here! But that's only one THIRD of what this jaw-dropping software suite has to offer! And there's even MORE deals below that too! Scroll down and check it all out quick!




ENHANCED PERFORMACE!

SECURE BACKUPS!

AND PROTECTED PRIVACY!

One Software Suite That Has It All!

The 2014 Security Essentials Suite!

Fix Registry Errors, Get Faster Boot Up Times & More!

Schedule Backups To Save Important Data ONLINE!

Even Remove Hidden Files That Encroach On Your Privacy!

The EASIEST Way To Make Your Computer 200% Better!

Slower and Slower...

It seems to happen everytime! I know I've had my fair share of it with all the computers I've gone through...

You get it that first day and it's WICKED fast! Everything opens instantly, you boot up in seconds, and there's no freezing or stalling out.

Then as you use it, it gets slower. Software stops functioning properly. Booting up takes a few minutes. Nothing feels the same!

And unfortunately, without some extra help it only goes downhill from there until you're standing at your computer wondering why it won't turn on!

BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO THAT OLD PC!

You can make it FASTER!

You can make it EFFICIENT!

You can make it feel BRAND NEW!

One software suite has ALL the tools to do it - and if that weren't cool already, THIS SOFTWARE MAKES IT EASY & SAFE!

First Up is PC TUNE-UP!

Remove Corrupted Files!
Disable Unnecessary Startup Software!
Clear Registry Errors!
Scan For 'Bad' Files w/Suggested Fixes!
Remove Clutter & Clear Space!
Defrag Your PC Quickly!

It all does it with an easy to use interface that makes sure you don't do ANYTHING you don't want it to do!

In fact, PC Tune-Up even backs up all your settings and options so if you change your mind, you can go right back to where your PC was before!

I've had all kinds of issues with tune up software that just "does what it wants" and makes you deal with it... not this software, though! It makes sure you stay in control start to finish!

And after you run it, you get to see THIS lovely screen:

That means your PC is going to start faster. You'll click to open programs and they'll ACTUALLY open instead of taking 45 seconds to start loading. And those stupid error messages you get EVERY time you turn your PC on will go away!

It's like getting your own personal mechanic maintaining your computer's internals! YES!

But that's only one THIRD of this suite!

Your Privacy Is Important - PROTECT IT!

One thing that surprises almost EVERYONE is just how much data and information your computer keeps that you never expected!

Visit a website? Your computer keeps cookies for any logging in or user accounts you setup for it. Settings and recent websites are saved in temp files and options all over your computer.

Remember when you went to get your wife a gift online, and deleted ALL traces of your history... but she STILL found out where you went? It's because just pressing "erase history" isn't enough!

YOU NEED My Privacy Cleaner Pro!

It deletes EVERYTHING that you'll want gone!

Search histories turned INTO history! Recently viewed pages won't pop back up if you don't want them to! And those 'cookies' that got saved without your knowledge? Removed without a trace!

But Privacy Cleaner Pro doesn't stop there! It even removes chat conversations that might've been saved from popular chat software like AOL, MSN, and Yahoo!

The interface couldn't be easier to use and it doesn't just delete those privacy concerns... it gives them a digital shredding that means even the most sophisticated data recovery tools won't get them back!

Clear Search Histories!
Remove Recently Viewed Web Pages!
Delete Chat Logs!
Remove Automatically Downloaded Cookies!
Delete Hidden Downloaded Files!
Clear Out Temp Fles, Recent Documents, And More!

Wow, that sounds awesome!

But you know what? I'M NOT EVEN DONE YET!

There's STILL more software!

SOS Online Backup!

You know what makes a backup useless? If it's just as vulnerable to data loss as your computer!

Hard drives and flash drives are popular for backups, but they can fail too! And what if you're out and about when your laptop crashes? You need those files NOW, you can't wait to get home!

If you saved your backups online you could access them ANYWHERE at ANYTIME!

Included with this suite is an ENTIRE YEAR of service from SOS Online Backup! That's up to 150GB of online storage!

Those important financial documents? Your cherished family photos & videos? All your business or office work?

Keep them safe! It's like having a hidden security deposit box for your data!

"But I need to know my data is secure!"

Security is #1 with SOS Online Backup!

With military-grade 3-tiered encryption, NOBODY is going to get access to your backups but you!

It's compliant with government regulations for security and backup - that means this is the kinda stuff they'll even trust top secret data with!

SCHEDULE BACKUPS! Save Your Data Without Even Thinking About It!

That's what makes this software so amazing! You don't have to manually backup all the time!

You can setup hourly, daily, weekly, or even monthly backups for specific files and folders to make sure that data is always backed up with the most up-to-date version!

Nothing is worse than going to recover your backup only to find out it hasn't been updated in months!

SOS takes care of that for you! Set it up and FORGET ABOUT IT UNTIL YOU NEED IT!

Three Awesome Programs - ONE CRAZY LOW PRICE!

This is the kinda suite that normally retails for $80! In fact, even THAT would be a steal, because SOS Online Backup is a $199.99 value!

But you know WorldStart better than that!

We took the 'regular' retail price and smashed it, slashed it, and crushed it up into little pieces!

YOU CAN GET THIS ENTIRE SUITE FOR JUST $24.97 WITH FREE US SHIPPING!

That's a LOT of software for a price like that!

Enhance your computer's performance. Keep your data protected. And even lock down your privacy! All with one suite for one low price of $24.97!

http://store.worldstart.com/product/9531

Tuesday the sale ends and this suite goes to $29.97 - that is, assuming there's even any left by then! With a limited quantity we could sell out at any minute!




Still Fumbling Around In The Dark?

Accidentally Key Your Own Car or Door?

You Need a Light That's With Your Key 24/7!

HOW ABOUT ONE THAT'S ON YOUR KEY!

WOW! THAT'S BRILLIANT!

Slip It On Your Key And Have a Light Whenever You Need It!

No More Hunting For Keyholes In The Dark!

It Even Makes Tough Locks Less Painful To Open!

AND IT'S ONLY $1.97!

"Wow, that's simple!"

So there I was, working late one night... I head out to go home and it was dark. Since it starts getting dark around 5 PM this time of year... by 7, it's practically the middle of the night!

I reach for my keys, and I quickly realize I have no way to see the lock. I need to lock up the office, but I just can't get the key in the keyhole!

WHY ARE THERE NO LIGHTS AROUND HERE?!

Now, I could carry around an extra flashlight, but that's a big bulk for a 2-second chore.

Who wants to fill a pocket with a big flashlight just to see keyholes?!

What if your key WAS a light!

SLIP THIS KEY COVER ON AND IT IS!

I'd love to give you full instructions on how this thing works... but I already did!

All you have to do is slip this little cover on top of your key and you're ready to shine a light where you need it!

With this thing on, when you have to navigate around at night, you can quickly and easily get into your car or home! No more scratching up all the paint, no more frustrated jabbing of the key!

You know those REALLY tough to open locks? The ones that take power-tool level torque to get opened up? It hurts your fingers just thinking about it!

Well, this comfortable key cover is going to make that less painful!

We ALL have those one or two keys we use 90% of the time! This even makes 'em easy to get out of the crowd! I don't know about you, but I've got WAY too many keys and now I can find the important ones faster!

REMEMBER - IT'S ONLY $1.97!!

http://store.worldstart.com/product/9490

But this sale ends Tuesday and that means this goes up to $4.97!!




Give Your Hands A Break!

Handy Bag Holder Makes Grocery Shopping Easy!

Comfortable & Convenient, A Must Have!

Ergonomic Design Stops Heavy Bags From Pinching Your Fingers!

Save Your Fingers From PAIN...

Not To Mention Less Trips To the Car!

We've all been there. You head to grocery store and end up with a bunch of those little plastic bags. You try to pick up as many of them as you can carry... You know how much fun that is?

They pinch your fingers and can end up blistering your hands if you have to carry them very far. PAINFUL!

And you think you've grabbed hold of all those little handles, but it turns out you missed one or two...

So, while you're trying to make it up the stairs... CRASH! All those canned goods come falling out and start rolling everywhere!

Feeling Aggravated? Well you could just take the bags two at a time or maybe one at time, so you can at least have a free hand to reach your keys. What will that make? Twelve trips to the car?

I hope you bought some pain reliever at the store. Because by now, your hands hurt AND you have a headache.

The Handy Bag Holder is the solution to your problems!

Simply slip bag handles onto the Handy Bag Helper. The durable thermoplastic handle easily holds multiple bags.

The comfortable design saves your hands from pinching and squeezing!

Just slip the bags on and spring-action push latch locks tight and the bags won't slide off. This durable helper is lightweight and fits easily in a purse!

If you have arthritis or any kind of issue with your hands, you will love this! Do yourself and your hands a favor!

Lock the bag handles together when you put your bags in the trunk and stop your bags from rolling around!

Then it's super-easy just to grab the bags without fumbling around trying to find the handles!

TALK ABOUT CONVENIENT!

You are going to want more than one of these Handy Bag Holders and I've got some great news! They are only $4.97!

Plus you get FREE US SHIPPING on orders over $5!
