Mky comptuer, for the past few weeks, has been goin' slow and isn't wokin' the best ever was, but my virus scanner does not detect there are any viruses. While on the internet, some, if not most, pages don't come up, they come up "This page cannot be displayd..." and on some programs it comes up that the program has to close. What is some websites i can use to get free programs off of to fix these things?
Thanks

you probably have alot of spyware look for ad-aware se personal for the free download this will get rid of them and help out your computer ALOT...Also try to Defragment you hard drive... Or yes you could need more Ram memory If you have alot of things going at once your ram cant handle it all and will slow your computer down...

Sounds like you have some adware or spyware infections, which many virus scanners will not catch.
I have had great success with both of these (which are free!!):
1. Lavasoft's AdAware Personal
http://www.download.com/3405-8022-5153545.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5
2. Norton Spyware Scan, included in the latest Yahoo Toolbar

Good luck! Post again or message me if this doesn't work!

Are you doing your 'housework'?
Take screen saver off.
Go to start - programs - accessories - system tools - maintanence wizard.
Click on "run now" and go away for 10 minutes.
Should do the trick.
This need to be done once a week.
Get in the routine.

there is amazingly little area left on the C rigidity. i might propose that at any given time you should save a minimum of one fourth the dimensions of the C rigidity empty. to try this you could reproduction each and all the advice/ music / photographs/ movies etc on your different partition , that's F rigidity and make room interior the C rigidity. apart from that, get carry of / set up and run a freeware stated as CCleaner and run 2 menus , (purifier and subject concerns)

Try to delete all your cookies, history and off line files. They can take up alot of space and slow your computer down...Also try Internet Explorers self repair mode...Then go to www.mozilla.com and download firefox. Internet Explorer is ****....
