Slowing down.

[Monga]

Just lately it's been getting pretty damn slow, had it installed for maybe a month, still using 7068. 70gb HDD free so its not a space issue, defrags run daily as with virus scans. Firefox gets laggy when scrolling down websites and boot times have gone to crap. Anyone know what I can do to fix it up a bit?

Hello Monga,

You can use most of the same items in the tutorial below for Vista to help with Windows 7 as well.

Have you used the task manager to view processes? Better yet install something like Process Monitor for a comprehensive view of what's eating memory and CPU cycles. Regarding slow boot, you may have programs autostarting that you don't need. And what apps are you using for security?
