Computer Webroot Report

Webroot analyzed my system and found the following:

Hardware: CPU is underpowered and impacting performance

A large number of temp files (I just did a disk clean) have been found

An active process has a memory leak (what the heck is that?) (IE/Microsoft)
An active process has a possible handle leak (what???) (Firefox)

What am I supposed to do?

What am I supposed to do?

Well for one thing don't get too upset about it. System analyzers like that should be taken with a grain of salt. Unless you're doing a lot of CPU intensive tasks like editing/rendering video or using autoCAD or photoshop or Bitcoin mining etc you probably won't notice any difference with a higher powered CPU. Certainly not for normal web surfing or watching youtube or using Microsoft Office etc.

Memory leaks can cause a browser or other program to bog down after a period of time and use up RAM unecessarily but none of these things would be remotely related to the speed issues you talk about in your other thread.

@Fink, thanks much.
