  • Over time, your computer connection is likely to slow down. There can be many reasons for computer slow down. Slow connection is commonly caused by poor or no antivirus software, memory shortage, or operating system troubles.

    Signs of a Slow Connection

    The most common sign of a slow connection is a long load period. For example, if you double-click to start a program, but the program doesn't start up for a couple of minutes, you likely have a problem with your computer connection.

    Antivirus Software

    Having inadequate or no antivirus software can leave your computer vulnerable to slowing down. Antivirus software keeps unwanted material, mostly from the Internet, off of your computer.

    Memory Shortage

    Among the reasons for computer slow down, memory shortage is probably most common. The more you have stored on your computer the slower your computer will run.

    Operating System

    A computer's operating system is the program your computer uses to operate. A newer operating system on an older computer is likely to lead to a slow connection.

    Troubleshooting

    To get the best antivirus coverage for your computer, purchase a recommended antivirus program at your local electronic store or through the Internet. Additional memory is also available for purchase online. Adding more memory to your computer can help a new operating system properly function on an older computer.
