Some sound advice for improving computer performance is doing daily maintenance. Running the disk defragment often will help, also running check disk once in a while is good. Running Check Disk will check the disk for any errors that may of developed and correct them before it becomes worse or causes a failure. Most people complain about their computer being slow.

There are a number of reasons this can happen. You want to make sure you don't have adware or spyware by using programs available to remove them. Also, you want to make sure not to be running too many programs in the background. IF you have a lot of icons in the bottom right hand corner, then you are running a lot of things in the background and this will slow things down. The easiest thing you can do to drastically improve performance is to install more memory. With today's programs and utilities, 1 gig is about the minimum that I recommend. For most people 2 gigs would be more then enough.

Also, to keep things going well, you want to remove the cover of your computer at least once every 3 months and use compressed air and clean it. Computers trap a lot of dirt and dust. This dirt and dust clogs the power supply, fans, heat sinks and system board. This will cause things to heat up a lot hotter then normal and will cause the CPU to throttle back, or slow down. Always make sure to unplug the computer before removing the cover. If you are not familiar with how to do this, then you should refer to a computer technician who can perform this required maintenance for you.
