Spyware, adware, & Malware are probably the number 1
reason for your computer slowing down. Here we have a guide
on looking after your system and removing the menaces.
Spyware is now the single largest problem facing internet
users today. These nasty programs have become so widespread
and so infectious, their volume far outstrips viruses. The
spyware epidemic is so bad that we don't even know what name
to use for it. |

Free virus scan and removal: Another major problem for computer slow down is Virus,
Trojan or Worm infections. If you get these nasty little
things on your computer then speed will suffer as they eat
up your systems resources in order to play havoc in their
own nasty way. These are very unwelcome guest on your
computer.
Even if you get rid of a virus they can leave
settings on your computer that will stop it being usable,
leading to blank screens on boot. Prevention is always
better than the cure and there's plenty of free options on
the market ready and willing to protect your system.

When you install programs many lodge themselves into your startup group,
running in the background awaiting their call to duty (Most you
don't need). These programs will slow down your computer by eating
up precious resources, startup times will also suffer as you
await multiple pieces of software to scan and prepare itself
for use. |

| Adding and remove files from your computer will eventually make
them fragmented (Meaning they are scattered across multiple places
on your hard drive). This causes your computer to work harder when it uses them, slowing down over all performance. Running Defrag will fix
this problem. Click on the link on the right for a guide and free
software to help you run this process.  |

As you use your computer bad sectors and files or folders going
missing can develop. Use Chkdsk (Scandisk) to resolve and repair these problems.
Chkdsk and scandisk require exclusive access to a volume
when it runs. Therefore thiese tasks are usually run outside
the operating system on reboot or from your system CD/DVD.

 Keeping your computers operating system and drivers up to date is
very important. Check out this section for information on how to
resolve and update.
For example keeping your graphics
driver updated can improve performance of the graphics card by quite a
significant amount. I recall one such driver that gave a performance boast
of 40% from the original.
Having no driver or a generic one will cause large performance drops. |

| Many computers are built and sold with bare
minimal specification, as Microsoft releases updates the
operating system can become more resource hungry, and can
cause your system to dramatically slow. Read our quick
guide on upgrading and the do's and don'ts that you should
know. Always remember if in doubt ask someone who knows,
either on a support line or at a store where you will
purchase the hardware.
Although easy to fit hardware upgrades should be down by
a professional as serious damage can be done to your system
if you do it wrong. |

Have you noticed that the longer you have your computer,
the slower it runs and the more it crashes? Often this is
because whenever you install or uninstall software, add or
remove hardware, or change your computer’s settings, the
Windows registry is updated. These changes can leave the
registry fragmented, with obsolete, corrupted and, in some
cases, harmful files. Over time the registry starts to get
bogged down and conflicts emerge. Left unchecked, your
system will become increasingly unstable, run more slowly
and crash more frequently.
