How to tune-up your slow PC

Wow what acceleration… What speed… but after a few weeks, it just did not seem so fast anymore. Why? Was it getting slower? No, of course not, I was just getting use to it. The very same thing happens with a new computer, it always seems so fast when you first get it and starts to feel slow as you get accustom to it. A computer can never be too fast … Putting perception aside, there are also many real reasons for a computer to slow down.

One of the most frequent problems which cause a computer to go slow is that of computer virus.
What exactly is computer virus? A computer virus is a program, code, or programming script which runs without the user's knowledge and performs destructive or otherwise unwanted actions to a computer such as disabling or over-riding security features and making it slow and easily prone to malfunctions.

Another most bothering problem is that of spam mails. Unsolicited Commercial Email, One may not be weary of this term, but this is what we encounter frequently and is known as SPAM, Unsolicited Bulk Email or UBE has become an increasingly serious concern to anyone who provides or uses email services. Most spam is a form of commercial advertising, which is economically viable because email is the most easiest and simple form of sending information.

Spammers can obtain recipient addresses from publicly accessible sources, use programs to collect addresses on the web, and simply use dictionaries to make automated guesses at common usernames at a given domain.
However spamming is politically debated in several countries, and has been legislated some places with varying result. This can be largely eliminated with anti-spam tools.
