my pc slows down, what is the cure?

Answer 1

What does this have to do with military?

Answer 2

There are alot of options.

1. Scan your hard drive for worms, trojans, and other harmful software. I suggest avast antivirus because it is free for 30 days.

2. Defragment your hard drive.

3. Cleanup your harddrive using the cleanup utility found under accessories-system tools from the start menu. The same place the defragmenter is found.

4. Last resort would be to reformat your hard drive, but don't do that yourself unless you have made a backup or you know what you are doing.

Answer 3

Yes, the stuff the other people mentioned was good, defrag, file compression etc..

Also, try "Win Cleaner": "ONE-CLICK CLEAN UP." It really works great and makes your computer run so much better. It costs something like $40. Staples and Comp USA should sell this product.
