I’m submitting a summary record of basic steps you can take to resolve this issue, and briefly discussing the three most common causes : malware, uncontrolled applications, and lack of maintenance, because many readers come up with their computer reacting slowly.
Malware
Maybe the most important factor to a badly performing computer is malware. Generally this is associated with downloading a software that includes spyware, by not having browser security options high enough, by carelessly downloading P2P files, or by declining to install security areas in a timely manner.
Step 1. Update the definitions of your anti virus and operate a full scan of your hard drive in Safe Mode. Resolve any unfixable problems. Note that some infections require extra steps until they could be removed; usually a web search will find specific directions or a particular removal tool. If you cannot find a solution, use the Bc forums to obtain support.
Step 2. If the sluggishness is unanticipated, and you have recently downloaded an application, the issue might reside there. Test this by totally eliminating it. A user will typically perform a websearch about the application before installing because in most cases, any potential difficulty with malware or inferior performance will have appeared.
Stage 3. Adware and Spyware can drastically effect your personal computer’s operation, and these are around the Web. A very recent research showed that one out of every 20 executable files on Web sites is spyware, and 1 in 25 domains include at least one piece of spyware waiting for sufferers.
Revise the explanations of your anti-spyware applications and check your hard drives in Safe Mode. Experienced users will regularly operate several of the programs, because each company has its own criteria for what constitutes spyware and will only search against their own set. (A set of really great, free antispyware applications is provided by BC). Again, solve any open issues before continuing to the next step.

Uncontrolled Applications
Stage 4. Evaluation programs that self-launch on startup. You pc can become a battleground for your interest. Many programs, for instance, install a quick-launch feature which permits them to be exposed rapidly; other programs will contain an automatic update feature that requires them to be running in the background. Each of these slows down your launch Windows and each requires a little bit of assets while your computer is running.
The easiest way to examine and than to handle start ups will be to utilize one of many little utilities available (see the Bc list of free applications). Remember that BC maintains a really complete Startup Database that contains info about whether the item is needed, optional, or not needed, if you are uncertain about what can be safely deleted.
At the same time, remember that those symbols in your Desktop also take a small amount of trunk time to put themselves.
Absence of Maintenance
Step 5. Cleanup your hard drive (preparation for Action 7). Delete unused programs and move old files into a CD. Unplayed games, lots of family images, zipped files that you have already opened, applications you have not found in two years, software for that old printer you put away last year—these are some types of files you can delete. Then use Window’s Disk Clean-up to delete temporary internet files, temporary PC health files, etc.
(Note for sophisticated users: some experts would contain the additional upkeep stage of cleaning the Windows registry, and you’ll find several programs to help do this. For the most part, registry care will not make a vital difference, and unless you’re quite comfortable with Windows, and cautiously make copies of-the registry, you may do significant damage by creating registry changes, so this measure isn’t contained
Stage 6. Have it mend Repair Windows 7 Ntkrnlpa Corrupt.
Action 7. Defragment your pc.
Hopefully, now that you have have finished, you’ll find a marked enhancement in pc operation.
