Just since today my computer has been very very slow. Like when I click Start, it takes about 30 secs for the menu to come up. I haven't downloaded anything recently %26 ran an Avast! virus test, I have no viruses. My computer is a Dell OptiPlex GX1 (about 9 yrs old)w/Windows 2000. Please help me!!!! (BTW, I'm not that great with computers so please try to explain it easily!) Thanx!
Computer suddenly VERY slow?nortan antivirus
First of all get the latest version of antivirus and then try scanning once again.
Secondly, try remembering if recently you installed some new software may be that software is using up all your resources.
Thirdly, you may try doing Disk Fragmentation. This may speed up your computer a bit.
Fourthly, uninstall the softwares that you no longer require.
And finally if nothing works out drop me a line or get in touch with me.

Computer suddenly VERY slow?nortonantivirus
hey thanks.... njoy.. Report It
Try restarting (probably a stupid suggestion).
Update your anti virus and scan again.
Have you got free Ccleaner installed as this will clear out lots of rubbish, I have free Eusing registry cleaner as well which also helps my computer run a bit faster. Also I would defrag, I use a free registry defrag. If this doesnt help then you may have too many things starting at the same time try downloading Revo uninstaller it not only uninstalls properly but will let you see exactly what is running on start up on your machine and you just untick which ones you want to delay starting. Hope this helps a little. Good Luck.
As you said that you did not download anything first be sure then uptade your anti virus and scan and if still it's slow then to many programs might be working like MSN messenger,yahoo messenger etc.good luck!!!!
