After about 10 min of normal running my computer slows down, how can I fix it?

check ur system tray,and close the un wanted programs runnig.

Hi there!

There may be several reasons for this to happen. Just because you have run a norton antivirus full system scan dont be ensured that you are free from virus like threats. If not norton, try something else. I suggest that you install System Mechanic and run the system maintenance wizard. This will do a lot of things right from performing registry maintenance to deleting unwanted files from your hard disk drive. You then open the start up manager provided with the same software and check if anything else unknown is getting started with the operating system. Make sure that you have enabled page file and you have given enough of free hard disk space for the operating system to use page file(s).

You have too many services running, either increase ure ram to 1GB or run msconfig and stop some processes from running at startup.

Also tweaking ure antivirus to scan once daily and disable the full tyme scan can increase ure access speed to programs. Just make sure u have a good firewall setup, to prevent virus's from attaking u

Do the following:

1.Empty the prefetch directory in C:\windows

2.in the Bios disable quick power on self test(POST)

3.Disable Boot up floppy seek

4.disable Boot delay in the bios if run into problems turn it back on.

5. click on internet tools and delete the cookies.

6.Perform disk cleanup, then Disk defragmenter and Chkdsk 1 to 5.

7.Change virtual memory to minimum 2096 and maximum 4096.

8.insert windows XP disk on the recovery console do the

following:

a.chkdsk /p

b.fixmbr this will delete or remove boot sector Virus

9.Try to work with the AVG Antivirus software.

10.Scan for Spyware and adaware. get xoftspy available free

on the internet to scan for spyware.

Good Luck!
