Lousy computer

To speed up your computer try downloading, installing and running the FREE programs listed below in the order listed:

  Eusing Free Registry Cleaner is good and relatively fast.

SpyBot Search and Destroy removes spyware and it’s FREE!

You can use either SpyBot or Ad-aware. I prefer to use both as sometimes they will each pick up something the other misses.

Ad-aware removes spyware and it’s FREE!

If you don’t have an Anti-Virus program on your computer, consider getting AVG. It has a FREE edition for non-commercial use. I’ve used it for years and am well satisfied.

You can still use your computer while running any of the above programs, however, things will run a little slower while AVG is actually scanning.  

Another thing you can do to help speed up your computer:   Start > Run > type in msconfig click OK select Startup tab and deselect those things you don’t want automatically starting at startup. If you’re not sure about something you can leave it or you can always comeback into msconfig later and reselect it.

  Always remember to close all other programs when downloading and installing new programs. And, restart your computer after anytime you install something. (I usually have to restart my computer 3 times before everything is back running properly.)
