Answer 1

what's your cpu speed? how much RAM have you got? How old is your computer? Either you have an old machine or your machine is infected with spyware, antivirus. If you have an old machine, it's time to buy a new one. If that's not the case, then try running ewido, avg antivirus, spybot, system mechanic, ad-aware. Google for these tools. Most of them are available free for download.

Answer 2

A clean computer is key to a faster computer. Run the 3 scans below.

Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.

Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php




Now lets clean up your registry.


Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?d...

You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.

Now lets clean up your disk.


Do a Disk Cleanup and Disk Defrag. You can find both of them by following the path below.

Now follow the same path and do a Disk Defrag. Again just let it do its thing.




Now lets tweak your connection.


There are many programs out there to do this. I will give you 2 of them.
The first one is TCP Optimizer.

All programs are FREE!




After applying the suggestions above you will have a clean and faster computer. Enjoy.

The internet is slow, for you, because your system is infected with hundreds of bots, sending spam! They are using the computer as a spam relay, using most of the bandwidth!

You really need to pull the Internet cable off the computer, then when you have isolated your computer, you can run a spyware, anti-virus, killer!

Learn to recognize the common symptoms of infestation, and disconnect, then deal with the "114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions"!

I like to think 'outside the Microsoft box' and run Macintosh units.

Or, install http://pclinuxos.com on my PCs because they are all immune to the Microsoft problems, come with thousands of programs, games, applications, and run upto 50X faster!

Answer 4

1. Uninstall any unnecessary programs (Control Panel > Add/Remove programs)
then
2. Go to then type msconfig in the command line. Select the startup tab, then make sure only the programs that need to run are checked.
then
3. Go to download.com and get Registry Mechanic. Run this program. (the free version will suffice)
then
4. Do a virus and spyware scan,
then
5. Do a defrag.

Answer 5
