I'm not very computer literate and need to know what I run to make my internet browsing faster. Also, when I open a program, like Real Player, it takes way too long. Is there anything out there for free that will make my computer just run faster and more smootly? Thanks

Running more programs will slow down your computer - buy more RAM and your computer will run more smoothly.

Either get RAM chips of 512mb or download these FREE softwares search from Yahoo.
- "Ad-Aware SE Personnel" (Free Version) - This is to get rid of those sticky cookies that slows down your PC unnecessarily & rid of potential hackers. (Can be updated for free.)
- "Cleanup!" (yes, search WITH the exclamation mark). - This is to get rid of unnecessary temporary files in your pc. I'm sure there'll be a LOT to clean when you run it the first time. Make sure it finishes cleaning up and the button that says 'Close' appears clickable. **MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD the 3.1 latest version if you're using Windows XP Home Edition. The version 4 has got some problems. It's meant for windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional version.
Hope this helps. It's been running on my pc for about 2 years now. Please run Ad-Aware & Cleanup respectively at least twice a week to keep your PC free of any bugs and also free up some space to make it run faster. I run it once in two days as I surf alot.

ccleaner or hd cleaner they are both free ,so get either one and do a super clean,would use firefox instead of ie,get spyware blaster,spybot search and destroy,adware se,and a registry mechanic,and keep your system defraged regular
