Thread: Slow Computer. Oh noes. What would help?

Quick answer, buy a new computer

But yeah i also have AVG its better than Nortan at least, and defrag disk should be done once a week everyweek, so should a virus scan and update and pest patrol etc...

for a quick, cheap boost, a stick of ram always works.

Try changing your virtual RAM settings, make them as large as possible.

Just try de-fragging your computer, it works every time for me.

You have three main options, none of which you'll want to hear : wipe the hard drive and reinstall, switch to a FLOSS OS, or get a new computer.
