  Adding more ram is not a task difficult because memory ram chips simply plug in a socket on the motherboard.

  However, it can be difficult, because it requires opening the computer.   Then there that understand particular motherboard configuratoin needs when it comes to memory.

  Some motherboards have specific requirements for memory.

  so the first step is to look at the manual of the computer on the configuration of the memory section and see if you can add more ram, or if you need to get out of this little chip of 256 out and just use a larger chip, such as 1 gig of ram.   (for ordinary computer users and xp, it is not necessary to have more than 1 GB of ram installed)

  with regard to the safe mode.   you are unable to connect to the internet because it is not allowed.  However, in safe mode with networking you can, since the internet is a global network.

  the reason why security mode perform better than in normal mode, is due to the fact that non-microsoft programs, IE third party programs are prevented from loading into memory and running.

  as a result of not having other programs the windwos (by itself) is able to work ok in / with the chip memory.

  In contrast, mode normal, windows + third-party programs are loaded in your partial memory chip, and it's moving the system.

  If at this point, you could try to eliminate some of the programs that are automatically started and running in memory for windows in normal mode get an improvement in performance.

  the method is called "clean boot" and here are the steps:

  http://pcsmarties.WordPress.com/CleanBoot/

  but the above method plus adding more memory to your computer, is the way to go.

  either said by the way, if you want to perform a clean boot, make sure not to disable the start up programs for what is toshiba, like the mouse or the keyboard.

  on some laptops the mouse drivers are loaded at startup and that you have to plug a regular usb mouse for some functions of the mouse until you can re - initialize the mouse driver.

  In addition, you mentioned that malwarebytes found some infections.   Although this is a good thing, it is hoped that the infection is not one of your folders of window system corrupt.

• Computer running very slow for macOS

  Since I've upgraded to Mac OS this morning, my computer barely works.  I frequently get beach balls, and even simple tasks take minutes where they used to take seconds.

  It's an iMac of 2011 with 4 GB of memory.

  Difficulty installing Sierra

  Try each of them in order. A test to see if the computer works properly:

  1. Reset the PRAM
  2. Reset the controller (SMC) system management
  3. Start the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart normally. It's slower than a standard home.
  4. Repair the disk by booting to the HD recovery immediately after that the chime press the command and R keys until the Utility Menu appears. Choose disk utility and click on the continue button. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) volume entry in the list to one side.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait the fact button appear. Disk utility and return in the Utility Menu. Restart the computer from the Apple Menu.

  Add more RAM or reduce the number of simultaneously executed from applications and utilities. Delete unnecessary anti-malware software and any software that promises to clean your Mac.

• Internet the in slow motion - computer runs very slow when you use any program / application that uses the Internet

  I hope that Super Antispyware has given you the opportunity to remove those things. Since your initial Malware scan came clean, it is likely that located SuperAntispyware cookies only track, which are odious, but generally not a threat from System.

  It is possible that you have apps which unknown to you, that run automatically in the background whenever you start your program. It is good to check if they are legitimate and necessary to launch when you start your PC.

  Start button, click on you. In the run box, type: msconfig.exe

  A System Configuration tool runs. Go to the Startup tab. You will find a list of applications that are set to run every time your PC starts. If you recognize all of them, use Google to help identify their purpose. Many times, you can open the application that is in question and prevent the application from starting. For example, on my system, I see that Java runs once more a verification tool to update each time you start. In this case, I can set my preferences Java Panel, select Java and uncheck automatically search for updates.

  I also use OpenOffice and it wants to run a startup of service to reduce the time that openoffice requires to open. I don't really want something constantly running in the background to save me a few seconds to open the application. Then I go to Google to find out where the switch is to disable this "feature".

  If you have unwanted applications running in the background, it is best to either uninstall, our to disable the option that allows them to run at startup. Although you could definitely "uncheck" the application through msconfig.exe, it is essentially a tool of troubleshoouting and not intended for the struggle of the apps (even if you do).

  You can always uncheck/check again on this list to see their impact when you then restart your PC.

  Once you have verified that apps that are set to start, you can run Windows Task Manager and scroll elements in the process and Services tabs to see what is running. The Services tab can be pretty intimidating to investigate on (there is a lot of misinformation the ' net), so if you are unsure about the services listed, it is best to ask or to jump on this area.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
