Why is my computer so slow?
- Too many startup programs launch on their own and hog resources.
- Bloatware and junk software, either pre-installed or built up over time.
- A full or failing hard drive that's running out of space or starting to fail.
- Not enough RAM for modern software.
- Malware running in the background, using up your computer's resources.
- An outdated operating system that's missing performance updates.

Frequently asked questions
Is a slow computer always a virus?
No. Startup programs, a full or failing drive and too little memory are common causes. Matt checks for malware as part of the diagnosis.
Should I repair or replace an old computer?
Matt will explain your options and give you an estimate before any extra work, so you can decide.
Do you work on Macs?
Yes, Macs and Windows PCs.
How much does it cost?
$125/hour for homes and $150 for businesses, with a 1-hour minimum. Most slow-computer repairs take 1–2 hours, and hardware is extra if an upgrade is needed. No Fix, No Fee: If Matt can't fix the problem, you don't pay for the visit, and the minimum doesn't apply. Parts bought with your OK are billed at cost.
