Do know 80% of your computer slow down problem can be easily repaired? Use the FREEWARE AND TOOLS below to recover your speed!

Never re-install your Windows just simply your computer running slow, most of the time is because some small mistake you done below, avoid them in the future and you won’t be happier!

I start to understand why Microsoft Windows will gradually slow down as time goes, but if your computer slow down suddenly, this means that you have a very high chance infected by Virus or Spyware! Before I go into more details on how to remove virus and spyware, you should try to check your network setting first. During the search for answer, I found that one of my network card is damage, and I suspect the virus or spyware excessive access to it. After I replace the card my computer seems to restore some speed. So first step is try to disable your network adapter (Control Panel -> Network Connections). If your computer speed restored, check every network adapters and reconfigure them properly.
If you are still on Windows XP, try this freeware TuneXP, is an optimize tool for Windows XP to speed up boot time and program loading speed.

Next, install Anti Virus and Anti Spyware, below is some of the software I tried, some of them is free, but work very well. Remember to test other Anti Virus and Anti Spyware, because you never know if your Anti Software is infected or ineffective:

Anti Virus

1. Bitdefender Anti Virus - Try the 30 days trial version, has all the necessary components to detect and remove virus, but consume only little resources, the best choice there is…(Price cheap too!)
2. AVG Free Anti Virus - Good for free user, but consume some resources and the detection speed is not fast.

Anti Spyware

1. Spy Bot Search And Destroy (Not So Sexy…Just a Plain interface)
2. Adaware (Nice Interface)
3. Windows Defender (Microsoft Default Anti Spyware for Vista and XP SP2)

These 3 freeware is not the most effective, but if you want to be sure, another paid 2 Anti Spyware is highly recommended, at least go download and try.

1. Webroot SpySweeper
2. Max Secure Spyware Detector (The fastest, but a bit overkill Anti Spyware) - It will take over your host file (C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts), if you are using host file for what ever reasons, try to set the hosts file to readonly before installing it.

If all of the above mention software fail to cure the problem, I would recommend you give it a try for registry cleaner software, and 2 of the best are:

1. Registry Easy - My favorite Registry Cleaner! Comes with XP and Vista tuning features, and it did speed up my Windows up to 2x. (I have too many software installed…!)
2. Regcure - Another Good Registry Cleaner, and if your computer infected with spyware, this is a better choice to purchase together with XoftSypSE (Another effective Anti Spyware!) and get a good discount!

I know registry cleaner can help to restore speed if your PC just like mine, lots of software installed (Especially effective with Heavy and Fat software computer!). I tried and it work! If your computer do not have many software installed, save your money and try the freeware cleaner.

You can also try freeware cleaner, Eusing registry cleaner, which I highly recommended for every user, including existing Registry Easy and Regcure Owner! One thing I must highlight here, NO SINGLE REGISTRY CLEANER CAN DETECT AND REMOVE REGISTRY ERRORS. You can simply try to scan and clean with one registry cleaner, then try another one, it still detects other errors! Myself is a bit extreme, I use 2 commercial Registry Cleaners and 3 freeware!

Lastly if you are that unfortunate, you should forget about saving your PC, just backup the data and perform a clean Operating System installation, this time remember to use disk imaging backup software to backup every time you perform any new software installation. After clean install, get these software or equivalent :

1. Acronis True Image
2. Bitdefender (You can download the version 10, which is FREE!)
3. Registry Easy
4. Regcure and XoftSpySE

It wont cost you a hand and a leg, but save you lots of time! Certainly you can always rely on free solution, I would only recommend you do that if you are computer enthusiast…at least you know what you are doing!
