My PC is running slow, what should I do?
Firstly, use the software mentioned in the downloads folder (i.e. Ccleaner and Auslogics) to make the most of your system. Secondly - is the machine slow on startup or overall - if on startup, you may want to consider what you have running as soon as you turn it on, is it all necessary?
If it is slow overall after performing the steps above, give your machine a good checkover - is there rubbish running in the background that you didn't know about?
Lastly, depending on the specs of your machine you may need some more RAM added to your machine. The minimum I would personally recommend would be 512MB for Windows XP (All versions) 1GB for Windows Vista & Windows 7

Do I need anti-virus software on my Mac?
It depends how much you value your system and how powerful your mac is. There is a free program called iAntivirus. The fact that mac's don't get viruses is not true - they just get very few compared to a windows machine
