I dont know why my computer is getting slower.Each application I open takes a lot of time to load. Sometimes error messages are also coming when I try to open some files. Is it due to some viruses. Can anyone please tell me how to fix this.

May be it is due to virus. Use a powerful anti virus software in your system to avoid this problem. I have avast free anti virus in my system which protects my system in a good manner.

Well, when my computer is getting slower, I'm defrag my computer .. And I try to fix it with my anti virus ,, usually I choose avira .. Defrag is good for your computer, you can upgrade the speed and makes your computer performance better than before ..

if it going slower day by day then you should do a complete FORMAT of your computer. Maybe virus is attacking your computer and deleting all window files. Or you can use a good antivirus to scan the whole computer to remove the virus. If same happens again then try increase your RAM memory. I t will work for sure.

Hmfft' Yeah It's probably virus from the websites that you open or try to join! Just try to clean up your computer! Cause it is what I'd always did if i have same thing! hihi and always update your antivirus too!

I think you should scan your system with some good antivirus, If that doesnt work backup your files and reinstall the operating system.

Yes but this is mostly due to many applications that open when you start your computer. First hold the button windows + R then type "msconfig". you will see a place start up. unchecked all unusual applications (skype, adobe, vlc...) which open when you start your computer. For finish use CCleaner to clean all the registry, if you don't have it you can download it freely. After that if you machine is still slow, then go for a power antivirus such as Eset Nod32 to scan all your Drive C://. Cheers.

I use Avast to block pop ups so i can't get as many viruses and i use malwarebytes anti-malware to scan and get rid of viruses.
