Answer 1

Using a registry cleaner can clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some regsitry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".

Everytime you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Regisry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!

Answer 2

well u got adware or spyware (both are bad...duh) so u need to get spyware and adware detectors

Answer 3

Hmm It could be a virsus.  Download an effective one or buy a good one.  McAfee.  Norton.  Both of them are good.

Or you could be using too much memory.  Try not opening too many things or using too much at one time- that will overload the system.  Cut down on unnecessary programs (don't use too many at simolutaneous).

Also, hmm it could be something else.  Do you have something that would stop harmful programs?  Get something that would reduce spyware...something that would cut it down.  Some good ones are Lavasoft's Adaware, and Search and Destroy (don't remember the company).  You need to do a scan. Wish you the best.

Answer 4

You probably have a crappy antivirus. I use either Norton or Bitdefender along with Spyware Doctor.
