Hi Edel,
How old is your computer?
How much memory is installed in it?
Check how much memory is installed by going into control panel then system and
on the first screen read the details there which will tell you this.
What anti virus?
If you have Avast installed remove it and use Microsoft Security Essentials.
Here is a direct download link but make sure you uninstall Avast first;

Have you checked on Windows update lately for any new updates which should be
downloaded, this includes optional updates.
Have you downloaded latest run-time components?
Here is a download link for the necessary runtimes;

Subject: [vip_students] whizzing pc
Hi all
I have a strange one not really a vip issue but a few months ago my computer
started whizzing and freezing especially if I asked it to do anything like for
example go into videos on face book.
I brought it to the shop and had it serviced and a virus was removed.
The problem while not completely cured was better but now its got to the stage
that everything is so slow again I just get frustrated and turn it off.
Other programmes and internet pages seem to run ok. Could it be a facebook
thing
I have done virus checks, defragmentation and disc clean ups.
Can anyone suggest any further checks I can do before paying another €90.
The shop told me it could be a memory issue, how can I check if this is the
case and if so why are other WebPages and programmes running ok.
Any help appreciated
Regards
Edel..
