Hi Anu! Try to install CCleaner on your computer. It will get rid of the useless trash on your computer making it a little bit faster. Try to install Spybot too to scan for spywares which slows down your computer too. Those two softwares will do wonders on your computer. Trust me, it will make your computer speedy in no time. Don't worry, the softwares i mentioned are trusted and tested by many experts. You may want to defrag your computer too to arrange the files. Don't forget! Most importantly, install an antivirus preferably AVG or Avast! Good Luck!

first do a defrag, then go to control panel and go to programs and see if they are any programs u dont need. then go to majorgeeks.com and download a free registry cleaner like eusing, u need least 10Gb available or it will be slow, also make sure u do scans for viruses often they are alot of other good things at that site

Hi, anu00k! I am sorry that your computer is giving your problems. I have heard of a registry cleaner but I don't know the name of it. But, I think it maybe, registry cleaner, something like that in that nature. I hope that you get your computer fixed, because I know how annoying it can be to have to clean up files that have been infected on your computer. I was having some problems with mines too. It can be aggravating!

you can upgrade either your RAM or CPU. if your computer is old, your hard disk might have become slow , you can try buying a new one.

Maybe there are tons of trash,so I suggest that you use a special soft to totally clean your computer.Of course,the most efficient way is reloading your operate system.

Computers usually get slow with all kids of junk when we use them. I usually reformat my computer once every six months. When reformatting I usually tarnsfer files that I need a get rid of the rest. I usually find that at least 50% is unwanted stuff. Maybe you can try this as well. If you cant do this you can defrag your disks, use a registry cleaner, get updates for Audio, video card and other drivers.

Do what the others are recommending, then if still your not satisfied try to reformat your computer and upgrade you ram. Adding additional ram in your system alone increases the performance of a computer dramatically.
