Over the past few weeks i have noticed my computer slowing down.
It seems to take longer to load things, and i am getting quite a few "not responding" mesages when i attempt to load simple things.
I defraged my computer but that didn't seem to help.
What are your suggestions on what i should do?

Have you downloaded any new programs that might be loading on startup? Have you updated a driver? Or even installed a piece of hardware? These things could slow down your machine. Maybe you have <font color=red>bots</font color=red> or <font color=red>ads</font color=red> running on your machine. You might also check out these programs to help speed it up...

SpyBot S&D + AdAware both search your computer for "bots" or "ads". Which might run on your system startup that slow your computer down. Advanced System Optimizer is a good tool to actually defrag your registry, clean your registry, and do a lot more great stuff. PC Booster I would run last. It increases the speed of your computer, usually, a little bit. It worked for me!

Hope you found what you were looking for,
