Top 3 Reasons your PC is running slow....

1) Needs cleaning and/or defragmentation: Depending on usage and how often your on the internet, your PC needs cleaned at a minimum on a weekly basis. Ideally you should utilize the disk clean-up tool daily either upon boot or shutdown. You should run a disk defragmentation ( defrag ) once a week. Both of these tasks you can schedule to run automatically under the "scheduled tasks" tool which you can find in your Control Panel under "Administrative Tasks". 2) More than one anti-virus or malware program running. On atleast 85% of the calls we go on we find more than one anti-virus and/or malware program. It's a common misperception that more protection is better. When it comes to anti-virus programs the opposite is true. These applications to not "play nice together" as my Mom would say. Infact they perceive each other as a threat and have a tendency to attack one another. Meanwhile your computer is running dog-slow because they are constantly running in the background consuming resources. Our recommendation is simple: remove all anti-virus programs. ( in most cases you will need to weed them out of your registry - call a professional don't attempt on your own ) Then installMicrosoft Security Essentials. It's free, it does not need upgraded or renewed and who better to protect your Microsoft OS than Microsoft? 3) Your desktop is cluttered. Much like your physical desk space at work if you keep it cluttered with unecessary folders your impeding your productivity. The more apps, folders, and files you keep on your desktop the more RAM you're consuming while trying to process other things. It's better to keep your desktop to a minimum. The amount of time it takes to find a commonly used application in your programs you will save in performance.
