Hi

New laptop is already starting to run slowly. Piggin Windows 8.


Unlikely to be a windows 8 specific thing...

Chances are you have acquired some unwanted browser "add ons"...

I used to have Norton 360 which had various function to do disc clean
up, defrag etc.

Not sure if Norton 360 still has those functions? Don't like the price
of it either.

Anyone recommend a download that will clean up & improve speed?


malwarebytes.org/mwb-download

Install, say no to the question about a 30 day trial of the pro version,
run it, do an update, and then scan. Let it have away anything it finds.
