My computer is so slow it doesn't have virus what do I do?

Answer 1

That question is difficult to answer without more information. You ask, "What do I do?" I'll tell you what you do. Clarify your question so you can receive a proper answer. Otherwise you'll get answers like:

- how old is it, if its old get a new one.
- defrag the harddrive.
- make sure there aren't too many programs running
- clean the registry
- make sure there aren't too many programs running on startup
- upgrade your memory (ram)
- If you're referring to internet, get a faster connection

Answer 2

Do you have a lot of items on your Desktop? if so... remove as many as you can... typically most of your items on your desktop are unused icons... and can be put into one folder like a MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER.. also your start button... you should only have..the windows update ,windows catalog,and program updates up at the top.
when you your start menu loaded down with programs and your desktop loaded down with icons... it causes the computer to slow... down majorly.. because it has to pull up all those files and get them ready for use just in case you need them.

if you computer is less than 2 years old.. ideally this is what u should do.
if it is older u might need more RAM but more than likely unless you are trying to run a lot of games off your computer you dont need more RAM...

Answer 3

ur memory may b full go 2 mycomputer right clik on the hard dive and clik on properties ull c how much memory your computer has if it is full u need 2 erase sm things like pic or music anything that takes up 2 much space......thats if u dont got $$$ if u do then just upgrade or memory

Answer 4

You'll just have to kick in the money and get a new(er) one. You could also by the RAM and stuff and have it put in your computer, but you'll be better off just getting a new one.
