Hi

My PC's started to run very slowly approc 10-15 seconds from double clicking an Icon to it actually opening the program?

Are any of the PC Power Boost software you can download actually any good and safe?

TIA

Try doing a defrag.....that should help a bit, but i suspect it may need rebuilding

Thanks

Rebuilding sound like a complicated job?

disc clean up possibly as well

[Stallion]

have you recently installed any programs? Program such as Norton etc does really slow down any computer, as its unnecessarily BIG...

[ninjapirate]

before using anything like that, do a defrag and disc clean up, make sure your free of spyware and nastys, run your anti-virus and registry clean.

I always wipe everything and reinstall OS!

Do a full virus scan then download tweaknow reg cleaner 2011

I have found tune up utilities to be very good you can get a 30 day trial from their website
it will defrag and tweak the settings on the pc as to what profile you assign at the start

if your hard drive led shows high activity check the processes from task manager, etiher windows or virus scanners may be busy downloading an update..

also check available free physical memory..

and if your system drivers are handy a rebuilt will give better performance than many.. (if you have time)

if you never installed a pc before or dont have the drivers and there is not another pc in home answer is Yes!!

before any attempt write down the hardware components from my computer right click manage device manager
