Along with a number of software / programs that are installed on the computer, we often feel our computer performance becomes increasingly slow. Or sometimes we have him we are getting slow computer performance. This is reasonable especially with the increasing duration of use of computers with various programs therein.
Actually, computer performance can be influenced by many factors, both software and hardware. There are various tips that can be done in order to be better computer performance.
Here are some tips that might be done and maybe some of it is common we do or we hear.
1.
Uninstall Program Not UsedAlthough not implemented, the program that rarely or never used can influence the performance of the computer. Especially programs that save the settings, the settings in the registry. Why? Because every time the computer starts, windows registry will be loaded into memory, so that the greater size, the memory used will be greater.
2. Check the Auto-Run Program in Windows

8. Delete Icon on the Desktop that Unimportant

9. Scan Computers from Viruses, Spyware, Trojan
If your computer is infected with a virus, most of its performance will decrease, might even be a very slow computer. Therefore should always be maintained so that the computer virus free. Moreover, if computers are often connected to the Internet, then about once a month should be computer scanned for spyware, mallware and the like.
