It can be the one thing that bugs all of us the most when we use computers on a regular basis. I find myself saying "I'm sure this thing was faster when I bought it years/months(?!) ago".

You will be forgiven if you think you're going mad. You are not! Over time computers collect information or data, like an old toaster that slowly collects bits of old bread and toast as you use it. This information or data can be collected just by visiting websites or collecting photos, or even the computer itself creating large error logs. It will eventually force the toaster to stop working as it should. So, like a clogged toaster, you need to clean a computer of its old crumbs before it becomes a problem.

The truth with computers is there can be various reasons why a computer can slow down and, like a car for example, the solution can be small and quick or large and possibly expensive. But don't fear - 9.95 times out of 10, they can be resolved.

I bet at this stage you're just thinking “yeah, yeah. I'll sort it out later”. This can indeed sound like a laborious task and something that most of us would quite happily forget to do or just put off until later.

Please do not put this off. Your slow PC can be improved, and in most cases you won't even need to leave the house! Remote access to your computer (thank you, technology!) means all you have to do is call and have a chat.
