It's amazing how much faster it became when no longer bogged down by useless files I no longer needed. With Black Friday coming up, lots of places will have deals on computer parts, and not just on the day throughout the week as well. I cleaned my computer this weekend.

The issue is usually either virus/spyware or memory related.Adding more memory is very simple. Just a matter of popping the stick into the slot.Virus infestations might require a reformat depending on how bad they are. The best way to prevent this from happening is to run daily updates/scans if possible. This will go a long way for making sure your computer runs well.
