    Thanks for taking the time to provide some really useful advice. I am not overly technically minded and often shy away from computer jargon, however I found all the information easy to follow and written very comprehensively. It made me wish I had my laptop available so I could put some of these tips into action ASAP! Cant believe how dangerous spyware is, I will be much more careful next time im asked to tick the "I agree" box!

    I want to thank the writer of this article and everyone that was involved in creating this. You have no idea how much this has helped me. You have given me the knowledge to finally fix a computer that i thought was beyond repair. It has many important files on it, me being a music producer, I could not afford to have my computer crash or lag. So again guys I wanted to thank you a lot. the web should be filled with more information like this. 10 out of 10 Al

    I appreciate your honesty, I really do. However I have tried "free" programs before. And believe me you get what you pay for. Believe it or not, I downloaded one of the free programs before and my anti-virus shot up like 3 alerts of different viruses it was loaded with. That way it can detect them and it makes it look like its working. Then it tells you to get rid of the viruses you must upgrade to the paid version. The ones I have showed you are tried and true, ones i KNOW work.

    One of the things I didn't see was some of the freeware available online (thats not too bloated) so users can get an idea if that particular area is the cause of the slowing. Tools like AVG for free and Spyblaster just to name a couple are readily available. Of course, they may or may not be as great as some you pay for. That is an opinion thing. I really enjoyed your writing. Excellent job, and I am rating it. Please feel free to check out any of my lenses and let me know what you think. Steve
