How To Increase Your Computer Speed Fast

by: Gio Mangano
I'm sure you've come across tons of articles and even suggestions from some of your friends on
how to get your computer to work faster. Its really not that hard to increase your internet speed.
I'm going to make it real simple for you and you don't need to be a computer geek to make this
work. The first thing you need to remember is to never, and I mean absolutely never download
programs especially free software without reading the fine print. Most free computer software will
bombard your computer with spyware which will eventually bring your internet speed to a screeching
halt! If your computer is already infected with spyware you can download the leading spyware
remover called ad-aware which will scan your computer and remove spyware and tracking cookies from
your computer.

Another way of making your computer and internet connection faster is by clicking on start, then
run and typing in msconfig. Go to start tab and remove any program except your antivirus software
and any other program which you must have start when windows starts. This tip will increase your
computer start up time dramatically!

Step number 3, and I do this almost on a daily basis is to clean up your internet cache. Go to
your control panel which you can access from your start button and click on internet options. Go
to temporary internet files and clear your history. I would recommend that you also set internet
history to a maximum of 2 days. Next step is to delete your temporary internet files including
offline content. Last step is to delete cookies. Be careful though because deleting your cookies
will also delete useful information from your computer. You can read a how to on cookies here

These steps are the basics you can take which will speed up your internet connection immediately.
I would also recommend doing a virus check on your computer on a weekly basis. If you don't have
antivirus software, get it! You'll be happy you did. Just one virus can wreak havoc on your
computer! Make sure you test your internet speed whether its broadband or dial-up, before and
after you take these simple steps so you can compare if these steps you've taken have worked.
Taking these basic steps will make you a happy surfer and will restore your faith in the World
wide web!
