If it hasn't happened to users, it's certainly happened to a friend or family member or co-worker. They use their computer every day, and every day it seems just a little slower.
Before they know it, their computer is downright sluggish, taking forever to perform even the most basic tasks. What makes a fast PC slow down -- and how do you speed up a slow PC? This question becomes more important since the average lifespan for a computer is increasing. Consumers are keeping their computers longer than ever before, which provide a longer timespan for a PC to become bloated with unwanted programs, infested with spyware and viruses, and less capable of running more-demanding modern applications. In fact, for many users it only seems as if their computers are running slower; in reality, they're asking aging computers to do more, and finding that the machines aren't up to the task. So what can slow down even a high-end computer? The list is lengthy, and includes things such as spyware, viruses, startup program bloat, too little memory, and not enough free hard disk space. For many users, what they think is a slow computer is actually a slow Internet or network connection. How do you find out what is causing a computer to run slow -- and then fix it? Speed It Up! is the answer.
