That's the system Info.

That's the system info above. The pc most times reaches 100% disk usgae. It lags everytime I browse the internet. Boot-up is extremely slow and it's affecting usgae. what can i do?

Well for one, with only 1896 MB of RAM is not much help.

What protect programs are running other than Defender?

 

[adeleke5140]

smadav. It's a secondary antivirus program. That's the only one there. So would, a ram upgrade help ?

 

[DaveA]

It may, but I think it is a waste of money to spend anything on this one.
I would apply the monies toward a newer more powerful machine.
