PART B_2

Hi, Emma! What seems to be the problem?

Hello, Ron. Well… My computer has been taking a long time to load
lately. It’s getting slow. Could you check it? I know you’re good with
these things since you’re computer-savvy.

Not really; I’m just really interested in these things. Let’s see… It looks like your computer antivirus is updated and working fine. Let me check the task manager.

Oh, right. I haven’t checked that.

Yes, look here. Your computer is running many programs in the background without you knowing. There are plenty of programs running in the background.

I didn’t know that. What should I do to prevent it?

Always check the Processes tab; it shows all the running programs. Now I’ll close some of these and restart. Let’s see if that helps.

I hope so, Ron. I still have to finish some tasks today.

Just let me know if it worked. If not, I will check it again later.

Thank you so much, Ron.
