System Question

[Wardy]

My PC is running slow. It is not due to download speed since running a test shows that I am getting about 7mb.

However the clock is running slow and applications that run in real time are running slow. Anyone got any ideas?

Have you tried switching it off and on again?

Hadn't thought of that.

























Okay that didn't work.

have you got a knot in the mains cable?

Time for a Defrag, or perhaps you have Spyware........

Not a knot as such but it is all pilled up. Would that make a difference then?

Done all that last night. No need for a defrag and no spyware in sight.

Sounds like spyware or a virus or something. It's perfectly possible to have something that spyware/virus checkers can't see. Have a talk to these people. They're really good.

Update all your drivers,Defrag your pc.Delete programs you hardly ever use.

Run virus check as well
