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 www.howstuffworks.com/cookie.htm.
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!
