Computer Slow Repair in few steps

By: Ahmad

Computer repair for slow Computer and Laptop, One of the big issue people try to find solution to fix this problem.
The new computer mostly runs fast even with low specification rates, but by time especially when there are too many programs and Data installed or saved on the hard drive, the computer becomes slow.
There are three reasons making the computer or laptop slow:
1- Hard drive issue: the hard drive is full or more than 80% full, this issue could slow down the computer, the hard drive seeking time to find the information on the hard drive with 50% capacity or less would be faster than 80% Capacity.
2- Memory issue: one of the most important parts to make the computer fast and smooth is to increase the memory. When you have too many programs run in the background like the Anti Virus, Weather, Printer, Messenger...etc, these programs consume the memory. I suggest 1 GB Ram for Windows XP and 2 GB for Windows Vista. If you add more, that will help your PC to run faster.
3- Virus and Spyware: Viruses and Spyware one of the main reason to slow down the Computer. When you turn on the computer, the viruses and Spyware run in the start-up mode or in the background, it infects Windows files, registry values and internet connection. Spyware record everything you do it online and on the keyboard. It usually send a report to the hacker with some confidential information about you, some of them try to re direct you to some scam websites.

Now after we knew about the reasons, we need to fix this problem without taking the computer to the repair shop.

Regular Maintenance: Windows XP and Vista have a special tools to do the Computer maintenance regularly.
• Hard drive error Check and fix: this way makes your hard drive healthy and smooth and it's good to do it every three months.
• Defragmentation: defragment the hard drive and re arrange the information and Data on the hard drive. The system will tell you if you need the defragmentation or not and it's good to do it every three months.
• Uninstall Programs: try to filter your programs and uninstall unnecessary programs. Free up your hard drive as much as you can.
• Temporary Files Clean up: Free tools from Microsoft help you to clean up your Computer from Temporary files. Do it every week.
• Virus and Spyware Scan: Update your Anti Virus always and run full scan to clean up your Computer from Viruses, Trojans, Worms, Ad ware and Pop-ups. If you do not have Anti Virus, try to download free anti virus or anti Spyware, install it, do the update and then scan your Computer.
• Add More Memory: I really recommend increasing the memory and adding more Ram. When you have an old computer, one of the best ways to optimize it and make it fast is to add more memory.
You could add some memory by your self if you have good experience, or you can hire Computer repair Company in Toronto.
