    Hello there , I need a bit of info/help.
    My computer is very slow lately. (last few days)
    Have checked with eircom and they say line is perfect.
    Mozilla Firefox, avg free 80 & Super Antispyware free are installed. ( they have been there a long time now.)

    Some windows updates were installed in the last few days .

    Any ideas how I can speed system up and still remain well protected.

    Ive found Mozilla giving me hastle in the last while. I had some themes downloaded for it and ended up constantly refreshing to get pages up and it was very slow.
    I got rid. Im using Google Chrome now find it much faster.

    Anyway , start with a simple clean up of your drives.
    You may want to take a look at your RAM. It may just be underpowered.
    I recently upgraded mine and the difference is astounding.
