No, your computer isn’t slow.
How many times has this happened to you…
You buy a brand new computer and things are great! You can browse the web at speed. Programs open and close when you ask. Life is good.
Then time goes by – maybe a year. You’ve accidentally opened some sketchy websites (clicking links on Facebook is more dangerous than you thought!).
The antivirus that came with your computer is flashing expired warnings. A teenager used it. You installed a “Java update”… is that a thing? After all that abuse, your computer is now acting possessed and you are beginning to hate the thing.
You don’t need to buy a new computer for $1000. If it has been two years or less, your hardware should still be plenty fast. You just need to get the software refreshed. This can be done by performing a computer tune-up, or by reinstalling Windows fresh.
A tune-up removes bad programs like viruses, spyware, and advertising programs from your PC. It also tells good programs to stop running in the background – these background programs are a major cause of slowness.
Re-installing Windows fresh gives you the new computer experience. You will need to re-install your programs and re-connect your printer. A skilled technician can back-up and restore your data to the computer so you don’t lose any pictures or documents.
