Just wondering if anyone on here can help
My PC has suddenly become really slow like it takes ages to open all of the programs and if you watch any video clips they are all jerky and that. Ive defragemnted the HD and removed all uneccercery stuff so that HD isnt even half full and it is still well slow. Checked for spyware and viruses too but found none
So erm help please

not enough disk swap space on your hard drive? Consider deleting unnecessary files and folders to make more space?
buy a new computer?

could be too much p0rn as well. The internet police are monitoring your computer hence the slowdown.

most probably too many services running in the background. hit ctrl-alt-delete and tell us how many services are running, should say in the corner

Is this the same as processes. because if i press ctrl + alt + delete and click on the processes tab there is a whole massive list
But in the bottom corner it only says processes 43
