Checkmating
the Top Causes of A Slow Computer
Slow computer problem is the number one PC
support complaint received from users and
customers by computer technical support
units worldwide. To have a view of the
prevalence of the problem, one can just run
the “Slow Computer” keyword combination
search in the hugely popular Google search
engine (www.google.com). You would be
surprised to be presented with over 95
million results!
Although slow performance from a computer
can be attributed to many factors, there are
some factors which account for the larger
majority of such performance from a
computer. These factors, which could readily
be termed the top causes of a slow computer
are the ones addressed in this article.
Addressing all likely causes of a computer
responding slowly would be too voluminous to
make this article worthwhile. However, if
these top causes which account for more than
80% of slow computer problems are
checkmated, it would be no mean feat.

Low on
disk space
This can be nightmare
for your computer. Your computer needs
ample amounts of free space to function,
particularly those running fairly recent
operating systems like Microsoft Windows
XP and Microsoft Windows Vista.
Everything from your RAM to your CPU
thrives on free space. In fact to
improve perceived performance, operating
systems like Windows XP operate a
pre-fetch cache where it stores
information about programs often used so
that it can load them faster at the
final expense of disk space. A computer
running low on disk space is like an
athlete running a race with little or no
space to swing his arms and legs. Some
suggested ways to free up disk space
include using a registry cleaner,
cleaning the windows cache, internet
history and temporary files. However,
RecoveryMagic with its innovative
rollback technology is capable of more
effective results than disk cleaner
software products. Installing
RecoveryMagic when your computer has
been freshly formatted with all
necessary applications installed and
everything is working well ensures that
you can easily use RecoveryMagic to
rollback to this perfect working
condition at anytime, thus effectively
clearing your hard disk of all
accumulated junk.

Viruses
Viruses are one of the
common reasons for a slow computer.
Worms, which are a class of viruses,
replicate and generate so many copies of
themselves that they consume your
computer's speed and resources, making
it slow down to a crawl. This problem
can be resolved by a very good antivirus
program that consumes minimal system
resources, such as
Eset’s
NOD32 which has rave reviews from
consumers. Choosing the right antivirus
with scanning and operating speed
considerations are important because
some antivirus programs have been known
to slow down system performance by their
high level of computer resources
utilization. While RecoveryMagic
software is not an antivirus, it can
effortlessly reverse the effects of
viruses on a computer protected by it by
simply erasing the viruses and all
traces of them from the hard disk and
reverting the computer back to a
pre-virus infection state all within a
matter of seconds or minutes.
RecoveryMagic does not require virus
signatures to achieve this anti-virus
feat, an impressive feature which allows
it be effective even against unknown
viruses.
-
Spyware
This can be one of the biggest causes of
a slow computer. Spyware mimics programs
and processes on your PC, often
silently. Spyware can also be used to
steal data and personal information.
Various spyware removal tools are
available, but there are so many spyware
masquerading on the internet as spyware
removal tools that a mistake in choice
could only complicate your situation. So
it is advisable to get anti-spyware
software from a reliable source.
However, while some anti-spyware
products are very good, they are not
100% effective in cleaning PCs of
spyware and their effects. Some are
unable to clean registry entries made by
the spyware or even some associated
files downloaded and distributed by the
spyware. RecoveryMagic provides a better
alternative in this regard by possessing
the capability to undo all spyware
effects, files, downloads and associated
data from a computer system effectively
protected by RecoveryMagic.

Low
Memory
Your computer's RAM and
how you use it very important. However,
buying more RAM is not always the best
answer. If you are using your PC for
surfing the web, downloading videos and
such, you may be able to use your
current RAM more efficiently by
increasing your Virtual Memory. However,
if your have new applications such as
high end games or graphical software you
may need to add more RAM.
With little or no additional explanation, it
could be seen that effectively checkmating
the top causes of a slow computer is
possible with the RecoveryMagic software,
which provides a revolution in PC
maintenance. It is like a time machine,
which by virtue of its capabilities is able
to solve a large number of problems
afflicting mankind by taking us back
effortlessly to the good old days!
