   You can use a registry cleaner to clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some registry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".
   Every time you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you’ve installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it’s Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Registry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!
   There are some comparison and review of TOP 5 registry cleaners.

   If your computer is free from viruses, I suggest you to clean system.

   Clean disk, such as junks files, temporary files, history records and so on.

   Clean registry, such as corrupted, outdated or damaged entries in the Windows registry.

   Hi,

   There are many reasons that a PC will suddenly slow right down, usually if it happens very quickly a Virus has got in. Try to download one of the free anti Spy programmes. There are some that major retailers use to scan for virus problems. If you have a contract with someone like PC world, it’s best to take it in there and tell them your problem, they can fix it. If you have recently downloaded a large memory game or high quantity of photos, they will slow it down. Try going into your System and click on "CLEAN up Disc" and de frag is another to look at. How much Hard drive is free? if that is quite full, get rid of unused stuff. You will be very surprised at just what you have and don’t use hardly ever.

   I just fixed a slow computer yesterday, turns out the 1st stick of the RAM (memory) sticks was bad.

   If your computer has more than one stick of memory, try taking ALL the memory out and only put one stick in at a time. Make sure not to put the SAME 1st stick of RAM in the 1st slot.

   If you onlyu have one stick of memory, you can either take it to a shop and have them test it for you, or mabe a friend, etc cab swap out their memory stick with yours,

   You can also try runing these free memory test programs at the link below….

   Edit: Get rid off MacAfee they got a reputation off slowing down computers overall, I suggest trying out Avast as it is light and performance wise it has passed Avira

   Tell us about you’re anti virus, it might have an great impact on you’re system performance.

   Download reliable system optimizers, I would not recommended Comodo’s system optimizer and I only let CCleaner control what’s best for my computer and I have been using the program in many years.

   CCleaner includes a Temp file remover and a registry fixer, a program from the same company who makes Ccleaner (Piriform) also let’s you download a program called Defraggler which is a defragmentation tool which Windows automatically possess but I prefer this tool, it uses a long time to process you’re files but the more files it "defrags" the more you know the PC has to be fixed and the faster the end result will be.

   If you are using Windows, you can also download Fix-It-now Center or so, Google it’s "download" and download it, it is a fixing tool from microsoft which finds, identifies and repairs any faults you might have on you’re computer

    1. it depends on your hardware, ie. ram, cpu, hard drive.
    2. your internet speed determans how fast your internet is, so if your interent is what is being slow, then get better internet.
    3. what os are you running, if it is windows of any kind, what anti-virus are you using, if it is macafee then thats why your computer is running slow. uninstall macafee and get microsoft security essentials.
