Computer Running Slow? P2P Downloading Damage

My personal experience with a slow running computer has been maddening. It started when I was using P2P music download sites to download MP3′s. I won’t call the names of the download sites but they cost me a computer… which completely died on me. Apparently I was downloading a lot of things that jammed up my computer.

Over a period of several months the computer became very slow. I spent countless hours deleting P2P files and software but could not remove it from my computer. computer running slow After deleting these files I would re-boot and the P2P file would still be running in the back ground at start up. I did not know how to get rid of them. At $80 per hour I just could not see going to the Geeks. So I fought the slow running computer battle myself.

I’d try this FIRST: Fact is a large percentage of computer problems are found by running a test of the computer’s registry. Do it now and save time. The test or scan doesn’t cost you anything… and then you decide the next step… just click below – for the FREE SCAN.

If you are having similar problems and your computer runs slow, here are some ideas that might help you:

First, go on and save everything you might need from your computer immediately. I had over a thousand songs, several hundred pics and a lot of business stuff that I saved before the crash.

Second, I trashed Norton virus and put on Avast free anti-virus. Avast runs a boot scan that found several viruses that Norton did not know was on the computer.

Next, I installed StopZilla spyware / malware. StopZilla found a good many problems as well and corrected them.

But finally, the computer died anyway. Yes, it got a lot better for a few weeks but then started getting slow again and within 2 months it was worse than ever and rerunning the Avast and StopZilla did nothing. One day it would not start up windows and due to the computer’s age I have not spent any more money on it… replaced it.

I have since learned more about what I should have done. I don’t want to lose another computer to this mess. I should have used a registry cleaner on my slow running computer. As good as anti-viruses and anti-spyware are they do not do enough.

There are a lot of registry cleaners on the market but “Error Fix” is the one I would recommend. PC Cleaner is… easy and gets into all the areas that can cause your computer to be slow and maybe even freeze or crash.
