Windows 7: Asus eee PC 1015PEM - running very slow

Hello.

I had bought Asus eee pc 1015PEM 2 years ago which is running on windows 7 32 bit os with 1 gb ram + Intel atom dual core processor..

Now performance of netbook is pathetically very slow; even with super performance selection. I am using avast free anti virus + ccleaner + degramentation + malwarebyte. Still performance of computer goes down significantly.

I have not find any error or problem. I am planning to reinstall operating system as final solution.

Is it a good idea ? ( this what I used to with my windows XP laptop).



Please help me what should I do ? I do not have any software CD or driver CD as it was not provided by Asus.

Thanks

cooldj,

Right-click your Task Bar, open "Task Manager," and check your CPU usage. If your system is near 100% CPU usage (which I am guessing it is) you probably have a virus hidden somewhere.
