    I've noticed over the last few weeks that my laptop is running slower than usual. It's 7 months old. I'm not to sure exactly what is causing this i'm not very computer savey and could use some help please. I've ran anti virus checks and they've come up clear. All help is greatly appreciated. The laptop specifications are

    Model: Aspire 5750
    Itel core i7 2ghz
    4gb ram DDR3

    Thanks again

    Generally windows gets slow with age. Have you installed many program's, are there many icons near the system clock? A lot of program's have services set to run at startup even though its really not need. If there are a lot this can use up ram, slowing the system.

    Although with your spec, that would take some doing. Always try and use at least two virus scanners. Download malwarebytes (free) and give a scan with that. If your system uses a traditional hard drive ( not SSD) make sure it has been defragmented.

    Depending on how much junkware came pre-installed 6-7 months is about right for slow downs all the junkware is expiring,
    If this was a Fresh install disregard the first part and could simply be Driver updates are needed/ most computers do not sell like hotcakes and sit for awhile before selling.
    Check the computer manufactures website for driver updates.
    Heck if you want see this thread,

    Try these steps to Clean Up Factory Bloatware.

    However most tech enthusiasts will not run preinstalled Win7 with all the bloatware and duplicate utiltiies that conflict with Win7. To get the best performance I'd Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

    Never tell a user to use 2 virus scanners.
    1 antivirus and 1 anti spyware-malware. I believe this is what you meant, but I wanted to correct that in case someone else read this thread. Malwarebytes is not an antivirus.

    Try this: http://download.cnet.com/PC-Decrapif...-10636481.html

    Install and run it. Remove anything it finds.
