Why my pc has become slow? i have only few softwares and no viruses also?

Question

using pentium 4, win xp

Answer 1

ccleaner or advanced windows care either 1 will help with performance,just google them,both free downloads

Answer 2

could be a hidden trojan that cant be detected by certain anti virus softwares, also maybe you could have some errors that you need to scan for, or maybe you havent defragmented your computer in a long time

the best way to usually get your comp back to 100% is reformatting, but your computer will be empty and you have to reinstall everything again

Answer 3

Your pc might be fragmented and should use a program to solve that.

This one is very good. I used it for a while, but now I am using
