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 diskHard 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.- Repair damage to the hard drive with checkdisk tool.

To make sure the air circulation on the inside of the CPU runs fine as well as the fan (fan) must be clean of dust and can rotate smoothly.
10.Computer slow due to problems on the network connectivity / networkThis can happen due to high network traffic, hub or switch that hangs or any viruses trying to get into our computer system. To remedy this, try to pair off and back on the LAN Card RJ45 connector or rosette LAN, restart the switch / hub and use a port scanner program to see what the data packet in and out of our computers.
Maybe that's some causes and how to deal with a slow computer can I conclude based on the experience that I often met, additions and other correcting me wait ... thank you
