Is your Windows computer slow? Here is what I would do:
Both programs are free and easy to use --- basically just click on one button
2. Remove any programs that you do not use.
Go to control panel on the start menu and choose
add or remove programs (in Win XP). I forgot what it is called in Vista and Win 7.
3. Especially get rid of all anti virus / anti malware programs like Norton, McAffe and all the others. These programs slow down computers. Replace them with Microsoft's free program: Microsoft Security Essentials.
Running this program might take all night, but it might also speed up things by 10%.
There is no charge for this good advice. Diary2 students: Now tell me about how you love or hate computers. Also tell me the ways that you use computers.
