If it has been more than an year and it it is Windows OS, Re-Install Windows. If it is Vista/Windows 7, turn off system backup | ||

check the processes in task manager and see what process is taking more CPU. stop that if it is not required. Also stop the services which are not required. some anti-virus programs will heavily slow down the PC. check them. | ||

My laptop became extremely SLOW. Don't know whether it is infected by viruses or some other problem. Is there a way to clean up this and bring it back to normality? Any help is greatly appreciated. |
