For windows security issue, it is important to do updates, enable the firewall and use antivirus that does not burden PCMAV computer such as antivirus and be careful when using a USB flash drive / Memory Card.
6. Computer slow due to problems on the hard disk Hard drive is the second component of RAM which can cause a slow computer. Slow computer problems caused by the hard drive such as this: - Low disk space - Disk is fragmented - The hard drive is already long, so the rpm dropped - Disk error / bad sector
How to cope with a slow computer because the hard drive problem above is: - Upgrade hard drive capacity by adding or replacing hard drive - Do disk defragmenter on a regular basis - Avoid hard disk from dust, shock and overheating. - Fix keusakan checkdisk on the hard disk with the tool.

9. The computer is slow because of hardware problems overheat. Hardware overheat both occurred on the hard disk, vga card, cpu processor or in general can lead to decreased computer performance computer eventually hangs, slow or even frequent restarts.
