Computers slow slow slow slow down; what do I do?
Both my and my wife's computer will just sorta die; they work but things that should take a couple seconds take many minutes. Restarting fixes it, but it can take 15 minutes just to shut the computer down. Once I had to unplug it.
Mine is 3 months old, hers maybe 5 years.
This started perhaps a month ago.
I have run 4 virus programs (Panda, SuperAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, Bitdefender) and they all report no problems. On mine I also ran the full Tango (Security Tango) with nothing showing up.
I originally blamed our internet connection, but that couldn't affect my ability to close a program, or even move the mouse.
What can I do?
