Why Is My Internet Slow.
Many people that buy a new computer or a laptop, even if we are talking about modern and expensive devices, complain about their speed. People expect their computer to be “jets”, but they actually get only a slow computer that crashes a lot.
Why are my computers slow?
We will only talk about computers on Windows, because the rest are less common. Moreover, the MAC computers usually don’t have speed problems. Microsoft usually makes operating systems that get on your nerves, and any new version will slow the computer even more.
The computer is slow because it runs too many programs, applications and processes. No matter how much memory the computer has, and no matter how many programs you stop, it will not resist. You want it to be good all the time, but it seems too hard to achieve that!
Don’t hurry with an upgrade, because this is not the solution. A new computer must work perfectly for four years, if you take care of it.
Another temptation is to believe that you have a virus. Don’t be so sure. A virus usually does not slow the computer, because this is not its mission. You certainly need an antivirus, but this will not slow down the computer too much.
The number of installed programs is not a reason to be worried. You only need a few Gigabytes of hard disk on the system partition for the computer to work perfectly.
How to clean up Windows
Here are some ideas. It is not a perfect solution, as there are always alternatives. However, this will be useful.
Eliminate useless programs. Enter Control Panel, Add-Remove, and uninstall any program that you don’t use. Be careful! There are many programs and drivers there, as well as Windows updates. If you are not sure about one of them, read about it and uninstall it only if you are certain about what you are doing.
Clean up the system
Accessories – System Tools – Disk Cleanup. Run for the driver with the operating system (usually C)
Delete temporary files
In Windows, you will find those in Documents and Settings, in Temp and Temporary Internet Files. You can delete everything that is in there. If you are about to delete a system file, the computer will warn you.
Remove the viruses
Update the antivirus and scan the computer. Delete all the files with problems. Some antivirus programs will need a lot of resources for scanning, so be sure to close down all the other programs before scanning the computer.
Remove useless programs
There are some viruses that can’t be detected by an antivirus. For that, you need to use an Ad-Ware removal tool. Put the program to scan the entire computer, and delete everything that it finds.
Renounce System Restore
System Restore is supposed to create backup files, so when you “ruin” your Windows, you can revert to the system restore point. The only problem is that it is not so effective, and the system restore features consume a lot of resources. This is why you need to turn it off.
