maybe you're just getting faster?
but who knows if you don't give us any details. pc make, model, os, what programs you have running, what's the in the system tray, size of HD, ram, graphics card, what are you doing when it slows, have you defragged.... what did you do it to it 15 days ago?

There isn't really much to go off here, but there are some standard things i would suggest:

1) Clean your Hard Drive.

Backup any essential files, then delete everything on the hard drive. You will be amazed what gathers on there over time!

2) Upgrade.

Generally, the best (and cheapest) way to upgrade your PC is by adding extra RAM by an extra Gig or two.


Hope this helps! :-)

"Backup any essential files, then delete everything on the hard drive. " and then what - reinstall all the programs with a messed up registry?? a defrag would be a far better idea imo...

There might be some viruses.
Better restore it via system restore.

Maybe you have installed new software that eats all mammary. Or maybe it's a virus.
But really we need more information.
