my computer is slow?

Question

my computer is slow, how do i delete the cookies and de-frag it please help me

Answer 1

If you go into your browser options, there should be an option to delete all cookies.

For defrag, go to your start menu, hit programs, accessories, system tools, Disk Defragmenter.

You will need to leave your computer alone while it is defraging, probably for a while. Also, you might want to look into what all programs you have running; there may be something running in the background that is slowing you down.

Answer 2

First, use the tools on Internet explorer and clear your history. The tools pull down has an area to delete the cookies. De fragment your hardrive using the accessories then system tools on the all program list
To delete a cookie

In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click Settings, and then click View files.
Select the cookie you want to delete, and then, on the File menu, click Delete.

If defrag and cookie deleting doesn't help, you might also want to do a ad-ware/spyware check. These can slow your system down as well.

Open MY Computer, right click on C:, left click properties. Left click tools and then defragment. The pie shaped program when you open tools, lets you detect and delete cookies, the recycle bin and unnecessary items.
