My computer is very slow, I struggle to open programs and folders. I have a lot of free space on my computer and I don't have many startup programs running. I have done a system restore and even formatted my pc. I do not think it is my laptop, even though it is 4 years old. I am not sure if the problem is with the software or hardware. Can you please help me, I work from home on the net. Thank you, Yvonne1 person needs an answerI do too

How much RAM does your pc have? Have you done a disk defrag?

You may have viruses slowing it down. I've had the same problem where I had no idea why it was running slow and a week later viruses were popping up everywhere. I'd suggest honestly going to finallyfast.com and download that software it's actually a very effective anti-virus. I'd also suggest going through your downloaded files and see if you have a few programs you aren't using that take up a lot of space. Anything over a gigabyte that's just sitting there can slow an older computer down. I hope this helps. Good luck with your home business!
