Question

question 13 ( point) all of the programs on your computer are running slowly, what should you do? a shut it down and restart it b check the surge protector c run a virus scan to check for viruses or malware d get a new computer

Explanation:

When programs run slowly, viruses or malware can be a cause. Shutting down and restarting may not fix the root - cause. Checking the surge protector is for power - related issues, not speed. Getting a new computer is an extreme and unnecessary first step. Running a virus scan can identify and remove potential threats that slow down the system.

Answer:

C. Run a virus scan to check for viruses or malware
