Just a bit of advice it is not necessary to have an ad ware and spyware protector if you have Internet security. It will definitely slow down your computer. The type of Internet security you are using may also slow down your computer, if you have windows vista I would suggest switching to AVG it doesn't slow down your computer a bit. Also you need to check how much ram you have, maybe you can upgrade your memory space if need be. But yeah try getting rid of the adware and spyware protection. If the type of internet security you have is a good one it should already cover that for you. Also try a disk defragment or disk cleanup that will clear up any unnecessary used space on you computer. Good Luck. Hope I helped.

Using a registry cleaner can clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some regsitry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".

Everytime you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Regisry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!

loose area on your complicatedcontinual doesnt particularly have something to do with speed of pc. The a million.7 Duo is sluggish besides, and 512 mb of ram is extremely very undesirable if your working something above domicile windows 2000. Win ninety 8, Win 2000 professional & Linux could be wonderful with 512. XP calls for a minimum of a million gig to run good, and Vista you decide on 2 or extra gig's until eventually now you notice good overall performance. i think of two gig for vista is a elementary requirement. improve your processor and Ram to a minimum of two gig or regardless of your computing device will settle for.

Are the hard drives fragmented? Fragmentation is like a disease that can sap performance and health from the drives. To keep the drives healthy, they need to be defragmented.



A disk defragmenter collects file fragments from across the the disk and rearranges them contiguously to improve performance, extend drive life etc. Automatic defragmenters are the best to keep the fragmentation drive 'disease' at bay. Unlike scheduled defrag, the user does not have to spend time running a defrag; the auto defragger does it automatically in the background.



Google for 'fully automatic defragmenter'.

Helped a person the other day & I think you have the same problem - namely Kaspersky, Kaspersky uses a lot of memory.



The reason a lot of people are turning to Nod32 is because of this.
