As you use, over a period of time, the speed of computer slows down. This is a natural process. When this happens, there are easy remedial measures to put it back to its effective working conditions. The below guidelines help you do this.
1. Scan for Spyware and Viruses
Spyware are programs created by companies to learn about your activities so that they can access your activities and learn your strengths and weaknesses. This enables them market their products to you easily. Also, as you use, your computer faces the risk of being virus attacked. Viruses are most undesirable programs that inconvenience a computer user. Regular scanning, detecting and removal of these unwanted programs help you speed up computer.
2. Clean up disk space
Your computer has built in Disk clean up tools. With the help of these tools, you can free your Disk space from unwanted files and speed up your computer. These built-in tools safely help you delete selected files. You can clean up your Disk by removing temporary internet files, clearing recycle bin, deleting optional Window components that you do not use, deleting installed programs and temporary files. Temporary internet files occupy substantial disk space. This is because the browser catches every page you have visited for later fast access.
3. Repair any disk errors
As you use your computer, it is possible that the disk develop bad errors. These errors slow down the speed of your computer by limiting the optimum function of hard disk. Most often, bad errors make data writing and file saving functions difficult. Regular scanning for error checking on your disk drive can help prevent data loss and improved speed of your computer.
4. De-fragment your hard disk
After the disk clean up, disk de-fragmentation will help improve the speed of your computer. When your computer has more programs and information, there are chances that the hard disk maintains portions of same files in different locations. Depending upon the space available, the hard drive does this for several programs. De-fragmenting helps the hard disk keep all information about each file in one place saving disk space. This operation improves speed of your computer.
5. Re-install programs and your operating system
There are always chances of your having useless accumulated data on your hard disk as a result of continuous use. These data can slow down your computer. Re-installing programs and the operating system will be an ideal solution to improve speed of the computer.
