My computer's pretty much virus-free, but during the last couple months I've been experiencing LOTS of lags for some unknown reason and I think it might be b/c I've never bothered to do a disk clean-up or to free space from my hard drive( it's only about 1-2 gigs from filling up).
Some of the notable lags include:
-youtube vidoes: i used to be able to play high quality videos without a problem but now I can't even handle some of the newer videos on low quality, and i'm guessing it's because of youtube's improvement over the quality of videos being uploaded.
-sound lags: i close my browser or a window on a video that has music playing and the music stops like 4-5 seconds upon closing. i've never had this problem even when my comp. was filled w/ virusis.
Anyone have a solution?
