    Computer getting slow down
    Hello,
    The performance of my windows XP is very slow. But if I disconnect my computer from the network it becoming very fast. This is happening with almost all computers. I am sure there is no any virus or any other threats. Is this happeining because of network broadcasting or any other network connectivity issuse is there?

    Thanks

    Here's my usual C&P for cases like this:

    System maintenance includes:
    Defrag
    FULL patching
    Virus scanning
    Spyware scanning
    removal of rubish files

    Defrag is an inbuilt function in XP.
    Open My Computer > Right click C: > Tools Tab and its there.

    To make sure everything is running fine run both anti virus and anti spyware apps in normal AND safe modes. (make sure that they are updated first ! ;)) (AVG is good and free AV)
    (A couple of good removal tools are Spybot and Adaware)

    ALso an on line virus and spyware scanner is Trend Housecall

    Just a note: actively running two AV's on one machine can cause problems.
    So if you are thinking about it make sure your current one is disabled first.
    Same thing applies to online scanners as well.


    Removal of junk files is easy with CCleaner a free app that does exactly what

    If all this fails then a repair install may be in order:

    Here's the official Micro$oft way of doing it,
    and Here's one with screen shots.

    Basically this installs windows over the top of your current setup.
    So you don't loose any information you already have.

    This lot should resolve your issue.
