Hi :wave2: Is there a quick and easy way to clean up your computer? We just turn it off and back on again, that will help for awhile. Do yous turn it off at night or keep it on ? :confused3
 
You should reboot your pc once a week at least, to release virtual memory. It just helps keep it healthy. If it is very slow, I think a good bet is that you have a lot of malware...adware, spyware. Run a couple of good anti-spyware programs, reboot periodically and maybe de-fragment your hard drive. Remove any programs you know you aren't using (only if you are experienced and know what you really don't need).

Good luck!
 
It is best to reboot everyday. Some programs hang in memory, and that is the only way to get rid of them.

Make sure your virus scanner is updated, and if you don't already have a spyware detector, go to http://www.spybot.info/ and download Spybot, and run it regularly (and keep it updated).
