2. Priority Updates. Make sure Windows is up-to-date. We recommend using automatic updates. Computer running slow? Maybe it's time for an update.

Fix: Update Windows

No operating system [Windows, Linux, Apple] is perfect. Hackers 'test' the operating systems every day, looking for vulnerabilities. Each week, and sometimes on a daily basis, certain 'holes' in the OS must be repaired, to prevent the hackers from breaking in.

Windows Update is one such service to the windows user. It is very, VERY, important to the security of your PC to either set your computer to automatic updates [recommended] or visit windows update, regularly.

BackUp BackUp BackUp Before anything else, make sure you save ALL your files

Click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Automatic Updates tab

3. Bloated Security Suites. Bloated Security Suites can slow performance!

Many have reported that Security Suites hurt performance dramatically

Fix: Turn down your Security

Security is a preventative cure. And when it comes to cures, we usually opt for the quickest and the simplest and the least painful.

Ironically, we are also often attracted to the software applications with the most 'New features' and the most 'colorful bells and whistles'.

Security, like medication, is something you would rather do without. Not something you want to flaunt.

Between POP-UP blocking, Fire-Walls, Email scans, virus and Spyware checkers, and the constant need to update; Our security software is taking a large chunk of our system's resources.

Turn off as many of the features as you can, and stick to the basic scans. Or, uninstall the bloated suites and install something minimal yet effective:

4. Spies are watching. Spyware is a file which records information about your Internet activity and relays it back to advertisers. Computer running slow? This is thought by many to make a computer slow.

if your PC is slower than normal at performing routine tasks, you may have Spyware - MICROSOFT

Fix: Remove Spyware and Malware?

As the name implies, Spyware is software (a file) which 'spies' on you and your Internet usage. This information is then sent out to advertisers to determine what sort of pop-ups or junk mail to send to your screen and email.

Malware is Spyware, but more 'Malicious'. Hence the name. These 'files' will steal personal information including credit card numbers and passwords!

Spyware/Malware can be removed with a good Spyware remover, or AntiSpyware.

---------------------------------------------------------------

5. Virus infection. These are files, using resources on YOUR computer, which you never asked for! They too, can cause computer to be slow [among other things]. Keep antivirus software up to date.

Fix: Antivirus Software

Basically, a Virus is malicious file. Not all are equally bad, but none are any good. They do not serve your interests but the interests of another.

EVERYONE on the Internet is at risk of contracting a computer virus. A virus 'spreads' much like a contageous disease. From one computer to another through file sharing programs, through email attachments, and even pictures. You must use Antivirus software to automatically scan incoming and outgoing data. Follow the directions given by each product. It is of utmost importance to keep the virus scanners up to date.

---------------------------------------------------------------

6. Bloated registry. Your registry is like a directory of all the programs and other files you have on your system. This too can become disorganized and cause your computer to run slow.

Fix: Fix your Registry

The registry is a global database [reference] to information stored about programs installed on your computer. This registry can became large, disordered, and sometimes contain errors.

A registry cleaner, or repair tool, will clean and re-order the information in the registry to restore speed and efficiency to the PC.

A good registry repair program will safely optimize your registry without removing critical pieces of information. Good registry software should make your computer run faster. If you are without a good registry repair program you may experience a slow start up as well as a slow shut down.

7. System breach. If you don't already have a firewall or don't think you need one you may want to review this step. Your computer could be sending and receiving unauthorized data and making your computer slow. Do not be a spammer's zombie!

Fix: Use your firewall

The Firewall prevents unsolicited traffic from and to your computer, while the anti-virus and anti-Spyware scans the files you do send and receive via e-mails and normal web browsing. Here at RJ Ender Computers we use everything to protect our computers just as anyone else would. If adware is able to penetrate your system, it most likely is caught by the firewall.

The same goes for Spyware. The firewall can stop the Spyware from sending out your confidential information thus giving you time to find it and eliminate the Spyware from you pc without any harm coming to you.

NOTE: Windows XP built in firewall does not prevent outgoing traffic from possible security leaking Spyware
