I recently recieved a brand new Aspire V5-123-3496 as a gift however after a week of use it still runs very slow. Although I primarily use the internet, I have google chrome, it is also general processes that take long. For example, to open the start menu, then to choose a programme then for the programme to open can take several minutes. Has anyone else experienced this problem? How was you abe to fix it?

    Norton or Avira/AVG antivirus installed?

    No, just the McAfee that came with it

    Uninstall it and use the windows security essential, it's stock antivirus on windows 8.x

     

    then check for system speed.
