I have a laptop and a desktop PC (vista and XP respectively). In the past 1 – 2 months, they both seem to run significantly slower. In particular, surfing the internet is very slow; loading pages can take minutes or not load at all. Reloading a page sometimes helps. This occurs regardless of the browser used ( I have used IE, firefox and chrome, all with the same result).
I have done the following and nothing has helped:
– run a registry cleaner
– run AVG and Adaware anti-virus and anti-malware programs
– cleaned the hard drives and defrag’d them
– ensured I have more than 500 mb space on the "C" drives (I have plenty of space)
– removed non-essential programs from auto start up
– verified the speed of my internet connection
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Basically there three categories can cause a slow PC that they are software, hardware and virus issues.
Part 1: For the software cause
1. Startup overload
2. Improperly BIOS setting
3. Bloated windows registry
Part 2: For the hardware cause
1. Insufficient memory
2. Badly Fragmented Hard Drive
3. For the CPU problem
Part 3: For the Spyware & Viruses cause

actually, 500mb for C driver is little.
the best choice is to put programs on other drivers ,not C driver, because commonly C is for operating system.
and there must be too many programs start up automatically when you start your computer.Run a registry optimizer or cleaner to stop those unnecessary start-up programs.
Have you ever clean up your computer since you bought it? If the answer is never, I am sure that there are lots of junk files on it. Junk files is also one of reasons that will cause computer slowing down. You’d better delete them regularly.
If all don’t work, add RAM or do a fresh reinstall of windows. If you want to improve your hardware, you can add some RAM but not buy a new hard driver.
Before you do a reinstall, please remember to back up.However, you should know that frequent reinstall is harm to hard disk.
