Answer 1

try to delete some applications that you do not use. best thing is to reboot the computer

Answer 2

Check what programmes you have loading up when your computer boots up, you can disable programs you don't want starting by clicking on Start and then Run and typing in MSCONFIG goto Start-Up and turn off all un-needed programs which to be honest will be most of them. Also make sure you only have 1 firewall running and 1 virus checker if you have multiple set up you can get conflicts that will cause computer problems.

Answer 3

I would recommend windows onecare, use the 90 day free trial while you decide whether you are going to renew your old security suite
