running slow
Posted by Os on April 9th, 2006


We have 2 PC. My Kidīs one acts like a server and contains important
software for my job. That PC is running slowly. I am afraid it could
crash. What should I do in order to try to prevent it ?

Perhpas it is full of games etc, as they download everything they
see.
Hard Disk is 50% empty.

Tks in advance.

Os.

Most likely spyware and/or viruses.

PS--using a child's pc for storing important data/programs is a BAD idea.
They are much more likely to be infected due to illegal downloads, clicking
links/programs sent by friends, etc.
