Now Why Is My Computer Slow? Are There Some Inexpensive Fixes?

A question that is asked over and over in a lot homes is why is my computer slow? Even with proper virus protection computers will have many issues as they are used more and more.

There are many ways and places to look for help for the slow computer. Computer repair and protection is certainly a booming industry today. But virus protection is not enough. PC’s become blocked with all kinds of “additional” corrupt data that can slow and even destroy a computer.

(1) The first line of defense – computer protection. When you purchase a PC there will be a virus protection software offered free for a “trial” period. But following this initial period of time you will be asked to upgrade and of course purchase the software typically on an annual basis. One product, Avast anti-virus is highly recommended by a lot of computer techs. The non-commercial or home version is free with simply an annual re-registering and posting a new registration code number. In as little as 5 minutes for them to transmit you an email and then you simply copy and paste the code. This has proven to be an first-rate protection and does a “boot scan” that most other anti-virus programs do not. A boot scan is run before Windows opens on PC startup. This virus scan has found scores of viruses that other anti-virus programs have not found. And any extra help is certainly great when it comes to viruses.

(2) Next think about un-installing unused programs and applications. Pretty much all computers have programs included when they are new that are not considered necessary or even wanted by the buyer. A lot are like advertisements hoping to talk you into buying their products. To get rid of un-used software applications go to the control panel and then to Programs and Features. From here you can choose a program and un-install it. Caution is the word here. If you un-install the incorrect program you may render inoperative something in your computer you do not wish to. The list does give you the day the application was last opened but the names are not always understandable enough to know accurately what you are about to remove.

(3) And now try a registry cleaning. The use of a registry cleaning program is the best means to repair and optimize your computer’s registry. Over it’s life the registry of any computer will become disorganized and contain errors and duplicates that will make your computer very slow. Defragging can help some but a good quality registry cleaner can eliminate, repair as well as organize your registry data. There are many registry clean-up programs available but as with nearly all products there are all spectrums of value. You should at least check out one with the free scan and see what errors and other problems are found. In just a matter of minutes the scan will tell you whether your computer has to have a registry cleaning. It is a secure and simple first move that can save you money and a lot of time.

When searching for the best registry cleaner to fix your slow computer, you want a program you can trust, that is proven, that has a free scan, that is rated highly by customers that have tried it themselves and is also easy to use and understand.
