help...my pc is very slow...

It really depends on two main things. The specifications of your computer, and how you’re using it.

For example, if you have a PC with 512MB of RAM (Random Access Memory) you won’t have enough space to keep lots of windows and applications open. Perhaps you’ve just got too many things running at once?

You should also know that browsing, downloading, watching and any general internet surfing opens your computer up to all sorts of threats. Although you do have an anti-virus - you’re most definately not immune.

Make sure that everything is up to date, that the information stored on your hard drive isn’t scattered across the registry (Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defrag).

Finally, delete/uninstall anything that you don’t need/use. Most pieces of hardware (cameras, mice, keyboards etc) come with driver software that you don’t really need. Windows has many of it’s drivers already built in to the system explorer.

If you’re using a mac - that’s your problem.

Forgot to mention also… BEWARE OF AMAZON - THEY WITHDRAWL MONEY WITHOUT PERMISSION. Watch you bank account closely or whichever method of payment you use if you plan on using amazon to buy things!

This might help some if you don’t already do it. open web page go to tools internet options under browsing history hit delete or delete all delete all ofline content

It makes my computer a little faster too. Also there is a website called finalyfast.com I’ve seen it advertised on tv. Removes adware/spyware I think

scan the computer with the avg anti virus software and delete all the detected threats .

delete the temp and prefetch files from the computer, go to run type temp, prefetch . select and delete all the files.

delete the temp , cookies, history from the internet explorer. remove unwanted software from the add and remove programs in the control panel.

Disable all start up items from the msconfig utility.

if needed increase the size of the RAM in the computer.

well my pc is a compaq. xp professional, I’ve already tried deleting all my browsing history and all that other junk.

I have avant for my web browser. use too have internet explorer it was way worst then so I stopped using it.

Try cleaning out your temporary files and your internet cache. Also, defragmenting your hard drive from time to time and cleaning up your computer’s registry can help increase computer speed a lot.
