Does your computer run too slow right now? Are you eager to have faster computer easily? Here are some tips that you can use to fix a slow computer without paying too much.

Firstly, it is necessary for you to run an anti-virus program to ensure that your computer is not infected by any virus, malware, spyware and other kinds of malicious software for those will take up large amount of Windows resources when running the computer, slowing down the computer speed.

Secondly, please go to check and then remove some unnecessary service. When installing programs on the computer, some will automatically add entries to run at windows startup. Moreover, Windows sometime will automatically start some services that do not need by average PC users, overloading the startup entries and then slowing down the computer. So to fix a slow computer, what you need to do is go to Start and then “run”, type “msconfig” to access Services. Here, you can carefully check for the programs/ services that do not need to run at starting up the computer to get faster computer speed.  

Thirdly, regularly maintain the hard drive. There are many ways that you can do to maintain hard drive, but normally, you can effort form the below sides：
1) Uninstall the unwanted programs from the computer on time
2) Run the Disk Cleanup to delete the unnecessary files that are no longer used
3) Run the Error-checking timely
4) Always retain sufficient available hard disk space
5) Defragment the hard disk at scheduled time

With the simple three methods above, you can enjoy faster computer speed all the time. But from a fact study, we know that lots of PC users have never run a disk defragmenter when trying to fix a slow computer. That is not recommended for sometimes a fragmented computer had been the main cause of a slow computer.

If a computer is becoming fragmented because of the disk fragments, thought it is possible for us to read and write the files on the hard disk. But because they are scattered and then located at different places of the hard disk, it will take much longer time to reassemble them together. If we can put different parts of the same file at the same place, things will be opposite.

Considering this, Windows provides us a packaged utility to rearrange the files locating on the hard disk, making them always close together and then easier to get access to. But before running the Disk Defragmenter, it is necessary for you to run a Disk Cleanup to remove some useless files from the computer and then turn off other running programs to make sure that a smoother defragment process.

But no matter what preparation you have done before the disk defragmentation, it will still consume longer time to finish a whole defragment process because of the large hard drive capacity. Take my own experience as an example, it took more than 10 hours to defragment my E drive which is only 18 GB large. So now I prefer to use some professional defrag programs when trying to defragment my computer.

After a lot of research on defrag programs on the website, it is proved that Advanced Defrag is the on of the best defragmenter that can defragment the hard disk and the Windows registry to effectively fix a slow computer to get faster computer speed.
