Sometimes our computers often experience slow performance. probably because most install some heavy, programs, games, or infected by a virus. The following are 11 ways to handle your computer is slow or in other words to increase computer performance
1. Uninstall unused programs
Although it is not executed, the program rarely or never used can influence the performance of the computer. Especially programs store settings in the registry. because every time the computer starts up, windows registry will be loaded in memory, so the larger the size, the memory used will be greater.
2. Check the programs that automatically run at Windows
This can be checked with a program like autoruns. Usually there are some programs that are always running which really is not so important or less important.
3. Defragment the hard drive

Can be seen through the Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Services. If the computer is never used online (using internet), there are several services that can be deactivated. For example, Windows Time and some other services (check descriptions). But it also needs to be careful. if wrong, it could cause some functions of Windows is not running.

8. Delete icon on the desktop that is not important
Often programs that are installed on the computer will create a new shortcut ( icon ) on the desktop. If we rarely use these icons, better delete it, can slightly reduce memory consumption .
9. Scan computer from Viruses, Spyware, Trojans and the like
If the computer is infected with a virus, most of the performance will decrease, might even be a very slow computer. Therefore, it should always be kept free of computer viruses. then if the computers are often connected to the Internet, it should be about once a month on the computer of a spyware scan, and mallware
10. Use a lighter alternative software
