How can I fix my computer?

Question

Ok, my computer is running way too slow for it should be. It was working fine until a couple weeks ago. I suspected a virus or spyware or something, but it didnt have anything. I ended up wiping the disc anyway, and it still is going insanely slow. Whats up with this?

Answer 1

try doing a system restore. Keep tapping F10 while your computer is starting up. System Restore will make your computer just like it is brand new. Be sure to unplug the internet from the back of your commputer before doing this. Note: System restore erases any files you have downloaded so you might wanna write the files you want to keep on a disk. SYstem Restore doesn't erase the programs that came with your computer when you bought it
