You know... i honestly have the same problem..


Once a year my computer slows down handicapely..

i find just reformatting it works.. but that gets rid of everything.

I'm constantly cleaning my computer out of stuff i don't need or use.

Get rid of stuff you don't need running. You really don't need a bunch of stuff open while gaming.

Make sure they don't automatically start up when you log on to Windows too.

frostwire

P2P programs can download unwanted programs/viruses that clog up your system without your permission that use your bandwidth and perform tasks in the background which all slow down your computer/internet. We here at Blockland Forum suggest you remove frostwire and run a scan of each of the following:

Malwarebytes' Anti Malware
Lavasoft Ad-Aware
Kaspersky Labs Online Scanner

Report back with the results.

I wouldn't use them all together at once, probably just Malwarebytes.

[Colten]

Malwarebytes <3

They are all for different stuff. I'd run them all, in the order I said.

Don't mass download stuff. Defrag often and scan for unwanted stuff.
