Speed-up that slow PC
1.Be sure that
your antivirus program is updated. Full scan at least 2 or 3 times a
month.
2. Be sure that
your anti-malware program is updated too. Anti-malwares were very important;it
removes infections that anti-virus software are not able to.Scan about 2 or 3
times a week.
If you don’t have
an anti-malware, I recommend Malwarebyes Anti-Malware (MBAM). You can download
it from www.malwarebytes.orgThe
free version is good enough.
3a. Be sure to always
delete your browsing history after surfing the web.
3b. If possible
enough, never had an extension or add-on. Unknown add-ons always had a Trojan attached to it.
4. Always clean
the cache. A good utility
software that can do that is CCleaner by Piriform.
5. Check “Programs
and Features”. Some malwares tend to install themselves automatically like
the iLivid virus. Inspect carefully for suspicious ones, maybe you installed
one accidentally before.
6. Sometimes, use Disk Cleanup. It removes unnecessary fileson
your hard disk to free up disk space and make your computer run faster.

7.
Another important utility that most of us never use was the Disk
Defragmenter. It’s main task is to rearrage the fragmented files and data
sothat your disks and drives can have increase access speed, and can work more
efficiently.
8. Delete files on
the Temporary Folder.
Click “Start”>
type “run” on search box > click “run”> “run” dialog box will appear > type “%temp%” (without quotation marks) > click “Edit” > click “Select all” > click “File” > click “Menu” > then click “Delete”

Choosing the Best Performance.
Right
click “My Computer” > click
“Properties” > click “Advanced
System Settings” > on Advanced tab,
click “Settings” > on Visual Effects
tab, choose “Adjust for best performance”
> Apply > OK
10.
For slow start-up.
Click
“Start” > type “run” on seach box > click “Run” and dialog box will
appear > type “msconfig” >click “Ok” >
System configuration dialog box
will appear, then click “Boot” tab >change
Time-out, from 30 to 10 or 15 seconds.
That’s
it!
