An elderly gentleman contacted me today saying his old Acer Windows XP PC was running very slow and he thought he might have a virus on it. Working on a Windows XP system took me back a bit as I barely see any PC’s with this Operating System installed anymore as they’re either just too slow to be usable or have simply died due to hardware failure. In his case, the PC was running a bit slow but overall was still working OK for what he needed it for so I gave it a good tuneup and removed a lot of applications and startup programs that were bogging down the PC’s performance. I then installed some antimalware programs to remove any viruses and junk he may have picked up from the internet and got it all cleaned up and back in action. I told him that while the PC is a bit old and slow, it’s still fine for basic use and he knows where to come if he ever does need to upgrade to a new PC 🙂
