  1. Run a virus scan

    Run a spyware scan

    If you don't have one Avast, AVG are good (and free)

    Spybot will do for a spyware check (also free)

    Good Luck


  2. 1) do you have anti-virus software if so run it and let it go all the way before doing any thing on computer.

    2) next run  clean disk  .you should be able to find it here (start ,all programs, accessories , system tools ,clean disk )

    3) next run  disk defragmenter it is in same place .

    but be ready to let your computer run this stuff for a long time frame 1 to 4 hours

    4) open your internet browser at the top of the screen there should be a tab or button that says tools ,click it and then go down until you get to internet options  and click it then  look at screen where you browser history click the delete button ,there should be another screen come up  make should to delete the cookies and temporary internet files and history

    5) after you have tried these items restart your computer

    if you are still having problem then i would say it is time to start checking hardware parts

  3. Using a registry cleaner can clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some registry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".

    Every time you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Registry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!

  4. Hi Lisa,

    Try this trick.

    Go to start --> Run --> type cmd

    Then type ipconfig/all

    At the second or third line from the last, you can see "DNS Servers" IP address.

    Now type: ping DNS IP Adress -t

    For instance: ping  123.123.1.1 -t

    After doing this, you can see lines keep coming in command prompt.

    Just minimize the command prompt and start working.

    Now your Internet will be fast.  :)

    Since you are pinging your DNS server, It'll concentrate towards your net connection...
