Re: help! slow laptop

Use CCleaner (download it, its free) to clean up your system . You might also want to buy more RAM for your machine .

Re: help! slow laptop

clean install

Re: help! slow laptop

Login with a different user account on that computer.

Re: help! slow laptop

spyware/malware made its way into your pc… it can be cleaned, IF you are technical enough.

Download Malwarebytes on USB/Flash drive and install, update and run full scan.

Re: help! slow laptop

Btw, what version of internet explorer is that? I ask since they found that many people were still using IE 6, which was the most horrendous piece of **** ever.

Re: help! slow laptop

i’am using IE 7, i installed the CCleaner and my internet explorer is working again so far did not stop working should i still download malwarebytes? or just continue with CCleaner?

btw, thank you to everyone who responded :blush:

Re: help! slow laptop

Make sure to run CCleaner every week and I hope it will stay healthy .

Re: help! slow laptop

You should. It will do different type of cleaning… you can also try Combo-Fix. The more protection you have the better.

If you really want to speed up your laptop, take the old HD out and install SSD Hard Drive in its place. It can give new life to an old PoS.
