Here are a few tips for slow computers:

1. Use A Good Antivirus Software

The need for dependable anti-virus software is obvious. Any computer connected to the internet today without one of these programs is doomed! 

2. Free Up Disk Space

A computer can run sluggishly simply because too much of its hard drive space is being used. Compacting your hard drive space to speed up your computer is a myth. 

The process of extracting the compacted files when they are required actually causes a performance decrease. The only way to keep your computer running fast is to keep it lean, so remove anything and everything that you are not using.

3. Defragment Your Hard Drive

Once you have removed any unnecessary programs, you should run a disk defrag on your hard drive. This will relocate files in a logical order, so your computer will access these files more quickly.

If you haven't done this in a while, you could see a nice performance boost from this tip alone. Both removing unnecessary programs and defragmenting your hard drive can be done from the Windows Control Panel – without purchasing anything else.

There are software programs, called registry cleaners, that automatically scan and repair your computer's registry. Some of these programs are even free!

With a little knowledge and some routine maintenance, your computer will be running as fast as it did the day you bought it.
