Over time, computers start to run much more slowly than they did when they were brand new. Files become corrupted, components start to wear down and malware infections bog down important system resources. The good news is that with a little bit of work, a Gateway computer, or any other computer, can be reconditioned to run much faster. While these simple steps can be completed in the course of one afternoon, their effects will help a computer run more efficiently for a long time to come. When blowing dust away from the components, take special care to remove all the dust from the central processing unit (CPU) and any vents in the computer’s case. Once all of the built up dust has been removed, reattach the side panel and plug the computer back in. Run spyware removal software and adware removal software as well, removing any infections found by these tools as well. Once all the scans are complete, turn your System Restore back on.
