Does your computer seem to be running slow?
It's inevitable. At some point in time your computer will start to slow down. It'll take longer to open a web page, or start a program, or call up a file. This can be caused by many things. You have spy-ware or ad-ware in your computer. These are little programs that get into your computer when you download files from the Internet or open e-mail attachements. Ad-ware can be a nusance because it causes pop-up ads to display on your screen even if you're not viewing a web page at the time. Spy-ware, on the other hand, allows other people to peek inside your computer and see what you're doing and can even steal your data from you. Ad-ware and Spy-ware programs reside in your computer's memory and there can be a great many of them at one time from all different places of origin. It is this occupation of your computer's memory that causes your computer to run slow. Your computer can also be slow because your hard drive is fragmented or you might need more memory (RAM) because you have installed new programs that are running at minimum system requirements. Also, your hard drive may be getting to it's capacitiy.
