Top Five Reasons for Slow PC Performance

1. Spyware, viruses and other malware are running on your PC and using up important system resources, like processing time, memory and internet or system bandwidth.

Solution: Get a good antivirus and anti-spyware scanning program and run a full scan. In extreme cases of bad infections, it may be quicker, safer and more effective to reformat the hard disk and completely re-install the operating system.

2. A fragmented disk is causing slow disk access. But as files on the hard disk are updated, deleted and created, they become fragmented and take longer to read than files stored as a continuous sequence of bytes.

Solution: Windows has a build in disk defragmenter that you should use every two months. For detailed solution: (http://www.iyogi.net/windows/how-to-run-disk-defragmenter.html)


3. Too Many Windows and Temporary Files slow down your PC’s start-up. Over time people install more and more software, yet don’t get rid of programs they no longer use. Many of these applications are designed to automatically start up when the PC is turned on. The more you have running, the less memory you have and the longer your PC will take to start up.

Solution: Uninstall any programs or applications that you do not need or use anymore, and stop unnecessary programs from running automatically at start-up. For detailed solution: (http://www.iyogi.net/software/internet-browsers/how-to-remove-unwanted-software.html)


4. Unwanted files and software cause your computer to run slow. Windows contains dozens of software services that run by default when the operating system starts. Not ever user needs these, and can turn them off for a minor saving.

Solution: There are numerous services on different PCs, so the best way to determine what’s best for your system is to research how-to articles online to determine how to turn off some of these services. For detailed solution: (http://www.iyogi.net/windows/how-to-remove-unwanted-files.html)
