One concern about a computer running slowly or taking a lot of time to load might be that it is bogged down with junk and needs a little cleanup. It is important to keep protection software running on the computer at all times but, in addition, it may be necessary to run extra programs like defragmenting or other performance boosting software. Perform the scan and then allow the software to point out programs and files that may be old or bulky and so are slowing that computer down. Race Your Mouse Around the Icons Day is a super reminder to get that computer moving better for the future!
