Your computer gets slow for a variety of reasons:
Virus and Spyware – this is the biggest reason why computers slow down and most of the time you won’t even know you’re infected.
Hard drive space – lack of available disk space slows your PC.
Software Problems – programs may have been installed and then uninstalled leaving behind unnecessary files.
Data Corruption – data corruption within the computer system can give the impression the PC is slow.
Overheating – Computers overheat because they tend to suck in a lot of dust which coats various components reducing the efficiency of the cooling system
Corrupt File System – every computer has a file system and if it has issues your computer slows down.
Bad Hardware – it may be faulty or simply configured itself incorrectly but bad hardware can slow your computer.
These processes happen gradually over a period of time so you don’t always notice but with our Health Check Service, we breathe new life into your PC.
