Acer Aspire 3 - Extremely Slow

fvdmerwe3

I bought a brand new laptop, as I had a very old Mecer laptop that is too slow to operate. However this new Acer Aspire 3 laptop is extremely slow and I don't know what to do. Thought I will get used to it, but I can't. Takes very long just to start up, and doesn't matter what I try to open it takes just as long. The thing is I don't even use it for something complicated, it's just my personal laptop at home that I will use if I want to go on the internet or use MS Office, that's it. What can I do, because it feels like a paid a lot of money just to still be stuck with a slow laptop.

Open Control Panel. Search programs. Do you see any non- M crosft virus scanners? Like mc  a fee or n or tons. If yes, try uninstalling them as they're no longer needed for most users.

Also, open Task Manager. Click Startup tab. Please post a screenshot if possible.
