Most internet users, at some point or another will find themselves wondering - why is my computer so slow? And most people really have no idea what the answer to that question is.
While there could be a number of different reasons that your computer is running slow i.e. hardware related issues with memory or processor, a badly fragmented drive, not enough memory installed etc. -
more often that people realize, the number one reason that your computer is running so slow is related to spyware. It is everywhere, and in fact studies have shown that over 90% of all internet users will become infected with spyware at some point.
So the question you now need to answer is - how do I know for sure I am infected with spyware and how can I get rid of it?
Well the very first thing you can do, which most people fail to do, is to scan your PC for spyware. Most antispyware software will allow you to download their software and run a free scan on your computer. This is a pretty simple process and should take you no more than 5 minutes to downland and full install the software.
Once that scan is complete, which in most cases will take anywhere from 5-15 minutes, you'll be able to view the full results of that scan. On the results screen you'll typically be able to view a variety of information - including the number of infections you have, the types of infections you have, and the severity of the infection.
Once a scan has identified that you do have spyware infections that are on your PC, the next step you'll want to take is to go ahead and get full version of the antispyware software so that you can safely and effectively remove all instances of spyware from your computer.
Failing to scan and remove spyware from your computer will probably leave you continually wondering "Why is my computer so slow?"
