McAfee is good, but very heavy on resources. So use something lighter like AVG or BitDefender, they are better too.
Reply:Check the memory on your computer. If it is %26lt;256MB, upgrade it to 512MB by buying another 256MB RAM.





Delete or copy all the files/folders that yu don't use everyday and store it on a CD. Pictures, music, video files occupy considerable amount of space.





Run yur anti-virus utility once every 15/30 days.





Go to the system BIOS and enable yur floppy drive and CD drive.
Reply:Install driver for it.
Reply:It could be that you have an old and slow computer. (a slow processor or not much RAM) Also what OS are you using. Win95, 98, 2000, XP ? Need more info. If you are running a very complicated game that will slow your computer - especially if your computer is not very new.
Reply:Here are things to consider based on what you said ...





1) How old is your PC?


2) How much RAM does it have ?


3) What kind of games do you download ?


4) How often to you clean your CD drive ? %26lt;there are CD cleaners for this%26gt;





Since your using a CD drive and not a DVD or a combo drive i reckon that you have an old PC. Perhaps consider upgrading your PC. The cheapest way to upgrade your PC is to buy memory.
