Reasons why your computer could be running slow

A slow running laptop computer or desktop computer can be extremely annoying and can really affect productivity. With your PC computer taking 15 minutes to boot up and applications taking an age to load up, sometimes you just want to throw your PC computer out of the window.
Laptop computers and desktop computers are bound to run slower and slower as time goes on and it may get to the point where a new computer is inevitable, whether it be a business notebook or home computer. In the mean time, below are a few things you can look out for to find the source of your PC computer problems:
Startup programs
Occasionally when you install a new program they are set to launch every time your PC computer loads up, whether or not they are programs you actually need open at the time. There are a couple of ways to view and remove these programs. By going into options and telling the program not to open automatically when you switch your computer on, it will definitely help your computer when it starts up.
Uninstall old programs
Over time, you install many different programs on your laptop computer and desktop computer, which are either used all the time, very rarely used or neglected. Family computers are particularly a victim of this as many different users try to download and install many programs. By running through the list of programs on your computer and uninstalling redundant programs then this can free up some space on your computer.
Spyware

Spyware is a general term used to describe software that performs certain behaviours such as advertising, collecting personal information, or changing the configuration of your computer, generally without appropriately obtaining your consent first. The most common type of spyware is pop up banners that never stop. You close them, and they keep returning, which can really slow your computer down.
