We have all either been in the situation or are in the situation, you're sitting at your computer and all you're doing is waiting... waiting, for that darn website to load, that picture to show or your computer is taking ages to close down or open a program. Luckily for you there is an easy solution and in this short article I'm gonna tell you HOW to fix it, the non-geek way!

Step 1: Why does your computer slow down?

Here is a short explanation of what slows down your computer.

When you buy a new computer it doesn't have a lot of software (programs) on it. There is no Spyware or viruses on it from surfing the Internet or checking Your e-mail. Your new computer is clean and running at its best.

After using the computer for a while you install or download new software, games and other things that you use on your computer, many of those programs and games are set to load when Windows starts up and takes up valuable memory and system time by running in the background or running updates etc. without asking your permission.

Eventually there can be so many things running in the background, that you may not even be aware of, that your computer gets severely slowed down and You may ask why my computer is so slow. Many times people think the reason for the horrible speed is virus, but very rarely is this actually the cause.

When you surf the Internet, most websites contains small files and programs that automatically gets downloaded to your computer without your permission, these are known as "Cookies" and are generally not a threat as they are used to store information about your visit so you don't have to retype answers or look up something from scratch twice. But as helpful as these Cookies are, sometimes within them are hidden bad programs designed and built to cause harm on both you and your computer, these are named either Spyware, Adware or Malware, and can cause your computer to become unstable, not performing at what it should be and leave you open for a more serious form of attack that you most likely have heard about in the news or online.

These groups of tiny files are what identity thieves and hackers use and make to read and steal all the private information you store or type on your computer, such as emails, creditcards, passwords and other such important and private matters. Spyware Cease is one of the best programs I have found to take care of just these problems and protect you and your family. In my opinion, Spyware, Adware and Malware is the biggest computer problem in todays online-world. Everyone should and must have a good solid program to keep them safe. With over 2,1 million people using Spyware Cease, I think its safe to say I'm not the only one happy with it and its protection. I recommend it strongly.

Step 2: Drivers

This step is about Drivers, what are they and what do they do?

Up to as many as 95% of all Computers running today have out of date drivers. A driver is a tiny program that runs your Hardware (Graphics-card, Mouse, Monitor) Basically everything you physically can touch, and can also be of great importance in keeping your computer as healthy as it can be!

I used to have a hard time finding all the correct drivers myself and trying to find the correct driver often results in frustration and confusion. What exact model is your Webcam, what exact version is it running, where do you find the driver for it and so forth. And this is just one of the many drivers operating in your system.

I recommend that you make it easy on yourself and go check out: >>>Driver Robot<<< Its a easy to use Driver Updating program that with a click of a button you can make sure you are up to date with ALL your drivers. Check out what this powerful but super-easy program has to offer and try it out!

Step 3: The inside

Crashes, System errors and Registry

Computer crashes and errors are not only troublesome but may also cause you to lose your unsaved important work or progress. They are frustrating and everyone wants to be 100% crash free! Many times, you have the possibility of recovering lost data only if you have made backups or have been regularly saving your work which sometimes slip.

So, what causes these problems? Whether you are suffering from a slow computer or you have frequent system errors, the most likely cause is errors in the system registry.

There are many different causes of registry errors, incorrect/bad installations or uninstalled software with traces still in your system, frequent changes in the system core and network configurations, and almost all other things that you do daily on your computer.

So, how do we fix this? This is probably the biggest problem your computer can be having. Well thats fairly simple. Fixing these issues yourself can be very complicated if you aren't computer savvy. I very highly recommend that you check out this great award winning program: >>> PCoptimizerPro <<< It also contains a long list of great tools that can help your computer achieve its maximum potential.

Step 4: the last step

Okay, so I have gone through a bit of why your computer is slow. Identified possible causes and solutions to fix them. I recommended these 3 programs because I think they are both some of the best there is out there and offer, in my opinion, an easy for you the user and powerful solution to your problems or future problems.

I believe that the these programs are worth it to keep your computer fast, functional and safe. There are some free programs out there but in my many years working with computers, I have never found a free program that could outperform these, there is a reason they are free. They also come with a 2 month money back guarantee. I suggest you go read their offers and make the right decision for you, your family and your computer.
