Slower than the slowest

[Ascer]

the PC of my gf is so slow that you should wait for an hr before it shows the boot screen and and so many hour before it starts windows,She want me to fix it but how the heck I gonna fix that lazy machine?
I guess it has so many many many spywares and other un-needed programs.

any suggestion on how I can fix it whithout reformatting it or buying a new one?

Go into safe mode and delete all that crap, virus scan while youre at it

and make sure its a legit virus scanner.. alotta fake virus scanners out there

if u have owners manual and installation disks, reinstall a fresh OS... sorta like Pandora's Battery

I suggest getting avira 9 and doing a virus scan then you should get Glary Utilities and clean your registry and finally you should defrag your whole hard disk...

Hope this helps!!

you might have to recover the whole computer but, if your going to do that go to safe mode and save all the stuff you want then install the recovery disc...you know the disk that came with the computer???pm me for more questions.............

try a disk clean, defrag, virus scan and a deletion of the temp files and cookies and stuff before reinstalling the entire os(re-installation should be the very last alternative).

I thought it was one of the worst, I no longer know.

First of all, teach her how to use the computer before she screws it up again
