There are many reasons for the machine to slow down. You can however keep it in sound health if you know certain basic facts  and take simple steps  at regular interval
to keep it in good shape.
  1. Clean up the disk – The first step is to ensure that the disk is not clogged up with unnecessary programmes. Remove or uninstall programmes that have no use to you. Next ‘Run Disk Cleanup’ followed by ‘defragmentation of the drive
  2. Clean up the registry – Deletion of registry is recommended in the case of a slow computer. The ccleaner is an excellent tool to sort out problems concerning registry. Needless to mention, broken registry links do interfere in smooth operation.
  3. Scan for virus and spyware – Virus and spyware can play havoc with your system. It is advisable to scan your PC/laptop against virus and spyware. Incidentally, go for an effective anti-virus programme, like TrustPort PC Security, AVG anti-virus, etc.
  4. Delete outdated network connections – Old network connections can slow down your computer, as these would be trying to connect to shared hard drives that no longer exist. The process is to right-click on any network shares in your Windows Explorer that you are not using actively, and click ‘delete’. Go to ‘Tools’ then, and click ‘Disconnect Network Drive’ if any. These steps would remove all old network connections from your machine.
