When you face a slowdown of your computer, firstly, you must pay attention to your hardware and software. Computer with a slow processor, inadequate RAM or a dead hard-drive works quite slow. In the same way, your computer will let you down when your software is not in good performance. The following are some important aspects for which you must look out:

Overloaded start-up

Don’t add too many additional programs because the more programs you are running, the slower the Start-up is. So, go to the Start-up to check all programs and see how many are lurking there.

 

Spyware

Some malicious programs might be stealthily embedded into your system. They may be installed in your software, without being noticed, in many ways. If they were spread through E-mails, you will know who sent them to you, but what about others, for instance, through free scans , free downloads or web sites? If you want to keep your computer fast at any time, make sure that your PC is free of spyware or you have installed an Anti-Spyware program

 

The registry

The Windows registry is the master control center of your operating system and the applications it runs. Corrupted or overloaded registry may cause performance problems, slow windows start-up, slow shut-down and a general disruption of system processing. iTopsoft Register Optimizer is recommended to solve these problems.

 

 

Badly fragmented hard drive

Over time, your computer's files can be scattered in your hard drive, and this is called fragmentation which is a cause of slower file searches than usual. You’d better use the built-in tool of Windows to solve this problem and be patient when it is working.

 

Poor security software

A large number of security programs, and suites, are bloated with software and demand a large amount of system resources and memory. The constant surveillance of your system for malicious ITD's can cause your system to get sluggish. Yes, system security is essential, but some of the programs have gone overboard and could be a source of system breakdown.

 

Remnants of uninstalled programs

When a kind of software is un-installed, it cannot be removed from the files completely. Some garbage files stay in your computer and take up your resources, thus making your PC slower. As time goes by, there’s less resource to keep your PC working well. So, cleaning up the garbage files is necessary.

 

The page file

The Windows Page File is a temporary source of memory used by the system during processing. If your page file is too small, your operating system will not have enough space to work and it will result in poor performance and error messages.

 

Viruses or any ITD

By this time, you would be fully protected by a bi-directional Firewall, (the Windows Firewall is only One Way), a good reliable and up-to-date anti-virus program. Because no individual anti-spyware program can get all ITDs, so two is better, three is recommended.
