PC getting slower
This problem is not strange to anyone who has a PC. A PC is like a car.. although it not mechanical, but it still needs regular maintenance or else like a car, it will “run slow”.
Alright, to cut the story short, the main reason a PC gets slower is because of the memory issues in every software and OS [Operating System]. In layman’s term if you mix tar in gasoline n then not change your engine oil and filter, you sure got yourself some trouble.
Soon even before you can realize, you got worms, trojens and viruses infecting the software of your PC.
Ooh I forgot to mention the Hard Drive part. The way data is stored on a hard drive, it needs scanning and defragmenting once in a while. Just like the filing cabinet of your office. Once in a while you need to re arrange all the stuff in your filing cabinet, or it gets unmanageable.
THE SOLUTION:
The solution comes in two pack.
1. Run some good anti Spyware software and anti Virus software and get rid of those nasty stuff. For recommended cleaning software that really works, read on to the “Tools” tab of my web site.
2. First run scan disk, then Defragment your Hard Drive(s). I have instruction for that on the Tools tab as well.
