My desktop computer just keeps getting slower.
Hello kpenguin,
There are many reasons why a PC could be running slow, usually its a
lot of junk that has accumulated over time, fragmented HD, viruses, etc.
The
first thing to do is to empty all the contents of the TEMP folder. One
way to do this is to open Internet Explorer, Click on Tools >
Internet Options > General Tab > Under Browsing History, click
the delete button.
Next, you can click on My Computer icon in
desktop, right click over C: drive and in the General tab, click on the
Disk Cleanup button. After this, go to the Tools tab and under Error
Checking, click the Check Now button. Once that is done, go to the
section below, which is Defragmentation and click that button. This may
take a while, depending upon the size of your hard disk.
I would
also recommend you do a full virus scan with your AntiVirus software
with the latest updates. All this should help you get the PC going
faster.
There are two tools available on the net, which I would really recommend:
1. RegistryBooster 2
2. SpeedUpMyPC 3
