My PC is to slow ...

[Lucas77]

Hello,
I'm new in this forum.
I have some problem with my PC (Windows 7 Home Premium), it is too slow and when I go with Mozilla Firefox I have problems.

There is a program to do a check of actual situation in order to understand what I have to do?

Thank you in advance

Luca

Try running a basic virus scan, if you don't already have a virus scanning software you can download one from here. Free Antivirus for Windows - Open source GPL virus scanner

You can also download CCLeaner and use that to clean your computer, it can solve speed problems in some cases. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

Post back the results of those programs!

Also do you have any ant-malware software? Antivirus, antispyware?

Good advice. Just make sure when you are running CCleaner, that you do not use the registry cleaner. It can cause problems to your PC and slow it down.

Well, it's a 6 or 7 year old processor, so I wouldn't expect miracles.

Is the "slowness" a recent phenomenon? When was the PC last "fast" by your standards?

Does it seem "normal" when doing certain tasks and "slow" when doing others?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the registry cleaner in Ccleaner IMO

I reccomend running Malwarebytes too. https://www.malwarebytes.org/getmbam

I have to clean all logs from my PC to speed it up(CCleaner doesn't get them all) So I made a .bat to help do that(lot quicker than doing it by hand) Logcleaner click on logcleaner.bat and it will download. Right click and run as admin. Hope this helps!

Try light os like xp and go with light weight antivirus like nod32. Also make sure ur have latest chipset drivers for u board. Else tweak ur bios for more performance

XP is now not supported. It will be hard to get a key for it and use it as your daily OS. But everyone makes mistakes.

Sorry but only reputable forum members are allowed to share software they written for safety. No hard feelings.

1 install the free version of malware bytes anti malware Malwarebytes | Free Anti-Malware & Internet Security Software then update mbam and do a full system scan and quarantine and then delete found problems.

2. For xp change the prefetch value to 1 for vista -8 change the value of superfetch to 1 : (LINK) Prefetcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

3 for the virtual memory change the min to 1500 and for the max 4000 also .... Processor scheduling should be set to applications NOT background services

4 and finally restart the computer. When computer is ready for whatever the task is your doing be sure to defrag your drive that windows is installed on
