Has is always been slow or has it ran normal before? Here is all the steps i use to keep my pc running like new. 1-Run disc cleanup. You can find it under start-->all programs-->accessories-->system tools. 2-Clear your browsing history. Go to start-->control panel-->Internet options-->Under browsing history click delete. 3-Run Cleanup! Its free and you can find it here. http://www.majorgeeks.com/CleanUp_d4895.html 4-Run Ad-aware. Free download here. http://www.filehippo.com/download_ad-aware/3979/ 5-Run Spybot s&d. Free download here. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html 6-Run a virus scan, which you have done. 7-Run hijackthis.m google it for download. Be sure to save a log file and copy and paste the log file here. http://www.hijackthis.de/ and it will tell you if there is any bad files. 8-Instead of the built in defragger, Run this one called diskeeper. Its only a trial version. Download it here. http://www.diskeeper.com/defrag.asp Well thats all i can think of. I do all those steps once a week and my pc still runs very good after 3 years old. Hope it helps.
