My pc is very slow - Microsoft Windows XP Professional

that is a hard one, G60 is retired EOL at HP.com
is it the PC or just internet slow
at home, work or STARBUCKs ?
If all PCs are slow say so, ( or is only wifi slow,hummmmm)

say doing what, on netflix or just typing a local text file?
there are 4 cause (only 1 PC slow and not only internet)

1. software corruption (bad hdd does that too) ask how to fix.
2. hardware bad, HDD bad tops the list !
3. not upgrading to SSD boot drive (all hdd are slow)
4. : hdd is full or memory is full, so ask for cures.

CCleaner and malwarebytes

Hi,
The most common causes of a slow PC is:
a)It has been infected with viruses and/or spyware
b)You have too many programs or apps installed on your PC which are running in the background and slowing the tasks you are busy with.

Install a good anti-virus program such as AVG free edition. You can download it for free from www.avg.com
Once downloaded run a full scan to detect viruses and spyware which may be slowing your PC down.
Also uninstall any programs which you are not using.

Best wishes,

Try disabling apps in start up by typing msconfig in start menu. Or try booting in safe mode(press f8 key when rebooting) and try doing a virus/malware scan or disable start up apps in safe mode also.!

Hello Sir,

downloading speed depends on internet connection not on PC specification.

If your transfer is low then downloading will also be low.

Take note that source from which you are downloading also must have reliable connection.
