De-frag

(1/5) > >>

sweetie:
puters a bit slow at the minute,,if i de frag,will it make a difference?
i,ve deleted temp internet files and down loaded files,and it,s a bit better.

Pammy:
It depends on what's making it run slow. If proggies are slow to load then defragging can help that. If Internet pages etc are slow then it suggests something more along the lines of adware has got in.

Defragging should be done regularyl as part of general good PC housekeeping (says she who hadn't done hers for over 12 months :D )

I'd do a full housekeeping run, run Spybot, Adaware, AV then defrag.

hth

sweetie:

shonajoy:

Sheila:
I hadn't bothered to defrag my laptop until I read about it here, on another thread :ph34r: . I actually didnt know what it was or that the computer needed it to be done...I am learning so much about computers since coming to COL :lol:
I also added the spybot and adaware too
