Member ConnectMy Computer is Slower Than Ever: What Should I Do?
A slow computer is not always a sign of a virus, but it's best to take measures to clean it completely and remove threats before you face unnecessary problems.
Have you ever noticed that when your computer is barely crawling, it seems that nothing you do is improving the situation? You try resetting the Internet or restarting the computer only to find that it is still running as sluggishly as it was before taking any action. Although computer technical support services are available, you can take measures to clean it up personally and see if that helps.
Run an Anti-virus Program
A slow computer can be related to viruses, spy-ware or other malicious software on your computer. Run an anti-virus program and remove the malware.
Run a Disc Cleanup
Before you look for professional computer technical support services, run a disc cleanup on your computer. It will help remove unnecessary files, folders and temporary items from your computer that accumulate as your browse the web.
A disc cleanup is designed to get rid of items that you are not using, but it will not remove any files. It essentially removes the extra items that you did not intentionally put on your computer, such as cookies. If you have programs that you want to delete, then you will need to remove it manually.
Run a Defrag Program
Defragmentation is a process that reorganizes your data, which makes it easier to find files, folders and items that you need. By keeping the programs and files in the right place, your computer will run smoother.
A defrag program will take time to run because it is clearing all of the programs and going through all of the files. When it is complete, you will see a report showing how much space is available and how much you are currently using.
