Some root causes of slow computers include viruses, optimized settings, computers that have too many devices connected to it, a rogue anti-virus program although not common anymore, too many software running at the same time.

Some viruses signatures include slow internet connection, web browser pop-ups, the change of your home screen, and slow performance of your computer. Although sometimes viruses can have similar side effects as to hard drive failure or memory failure on your computer it is recommended that you get it checked out by your local professional repair shop. At A Best PCs we are trained and removing viruses and testing Hardware failure. We have knowledgeable staff who are trained in removing viruses. It only takes a minute to get a quote on how much it will cost to fix your computer.
You don't need to pay for an anti-virus program anymore if you have Windows 10 on your computer. With Windows 10 coming with an anti-virus program in firewall it is unnecessary for you to buy an expensive software to protect your computer period with Windows Defender it comes with a full fledged antivirus program that can actually protect your computer from all malware. It is also the only certified antivirus program that protects Microsoft Edge and the Windows store. I highly recommend you using Microsoft Windows Defender over any paid antivirus program. Most new laptops and desktops from manufacturers include a anti-virus program such as McAfee and this software is just going to slow down your computer and isn't the best. Simply put it Norton Antivirus or Internet Security and McAfee are two software vendors that are on most prebuilt computers from a store. We do not put the software on our custom-built computers. We do not recommend this software as they simply are not the best and may actually bring in bad things to your computer such as viruses and other unwanted software. We recommend using Windows Defender to protect your computer from viruses and unwanted programs.
Some other causes of slow computers include too many software running at the same time also known as computer bloatware. Computer bloatware is where there is software that the manufacturer installs that you may or may never use. This is an easy fix for us to perform to clean out all system bloatware. Even if you uninstall the bloatware it is still running around on your system and this a Best PCs into play. With Windows 10 there is a very easy work around and removing this bloatware.
