I don’t know if that’s the right forum to ask this question. If not, please point me to the right place.
Windows 7 on a little Acer One Aspire netbook, with nothing really loaded. I use it only to check my e-mail and visit a few web sites.
It is getting very slow. When I check the Performance in Task manager, I can see that my memory usage goes way up, but I don’t see anything out of ordinary in Processes tab. (or I may not know what to look for)
I did uninstall some Google search tool box (IE add-in?) some time ago and that did improve the performance of that little laptop big time. But now it is slow again.
I have Avast (anti-virus free software), but any scan does not show anything, no viruses and such.
It takes forever to “disk clean up”, and it takes a long time to log off and shut down this computer.
If I reboot it several times, and wait a while, the memory usage and CPU activities eventually go way, way down and everything is fast again.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Have fun.

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.
