my computer is about 1 and a half years old, but its so so slow, i can search things quickly but if i try to click on i link, the window freezes, for example, if on a website for free online games, i try to click on a game, and the window freezes, so i must shut down the window, plus i get so many pop-ups about poker and adult dating things without being on websites of that sort. please help me out because this comp has to last me another 3 years before im aloud another.

This can be checked in your "My Computer>properties" Another thing to do is to run an antivirus/spyware scan free joker poker slots download to play on the computer. If you're getting that many pop-ups, I can be sure you probably have tons of spyware. Use your antivirus application, and if you don't have one, go to shinobiresources.com and download a free program called "Spybot: Search and Destroy" free online poker with no deposits and free bonuses free joker poker slots download to play on the computer. Not only is it free, it's one of the best on the market. Try de-fragmenting your hard drive for faster file access. This tool is located in "Local Disk C:>properties", then click on the tools tab. Delete temporary files as well. One more thing to check is how many programs you have running in the background. Hit ctrl+alt+delete to bring up the task manager, and shut down all unnecessary programs. Also, check your system tray (the little row of icons in the lower right corner of the screen). It's a good idea to shut down unnecessary programs and any you're not using, or that aren't critical to your system. Lots of programs running in the background will slow a system to a crawl, especially things like file sharing programs. It's also a good idea to install a decent firewall, if you don't already have one. That will help keep most of the malicious software off your computer. Try all of that, I hope it helps

Then afterwards defragment and/or give your computer a full-on disk cleanupSo, if you want your computer to last, i suggest getting an anti-virus software before it is too late...hope this helps... reading your question i would have to say that you have viruses on your computer.
