Answer 2

It is not myspace or stickam it is the links that people send you that you go to that are bad. It also might be websites or emails that you parents go to or read that might be s******g up the computer. Just like a parent to just blame it on the kid, my dad does the same thing, Download the best ant virus there is Windows live one care. Trust me from experience it is the best. It is free for the first 3 months after that you can either get rid of it or pay the $50 a year to keep it Scan your computer and get rid of all the viruses if there are any.

Answer 3

no they arent.

you're parents are right about the cookies.

but you can easily fix that but setting it to where your cookies are cleared when you close the browser settings.

also, your parents are causing it too, if they click on links in their emails too.

Answer 4

To be truthful, every site has cookies. And to be even more truthful, cookies alone will not slow your computer down that much. But if you do believe that cookies are the culprit, or you just want to show your parents that cookies are not the case. Then download Ad-Aware from the website below.

Now the main thing that slows down computers is things that you would download when it comes to programs, virus protectors being the worst (even though you have to have it). And the best way to speed up your computer would be to uninstall things you do not use on that computer, such as old outdated games. Also another thing you could do is to limit the amount of things that are on your task bar on the bottom right of the screen. And if its possible, you could also take off some of the icons on your background that you do not need. I say this because when you put an icon on your desktop, the computer leaves it in a half open kind of state, that way it can open it faster when you need it, which of course takes up processes in your computer.

And if your problem persists, then I would recommend using disk cleanup first, so you can delete all not needed files (including cookies). But however do not, and I repeat, do not empty out your hibernate file out of this. Doing so will not harm your computer, it will only make it to where you cannot go into hibernate anymore. One other thing, before you push OK on the disk cleanup, then push on the other tab, and choose to delete your old system restore files. Doing this will clear up a lot of space on your hard drive. And then finally, you can use disk defragmenter.
