Astounding Points For A Faster Personal Computer

By Icabod Lucas Xavier


If you feel that your computer has been running slower and slower lately, then you've come to the right place. Many people believe in something called "processor creep," which mean that over time your computer will simply get slower and slower. Of course, this is a myth. There are simple steps you can do that will dramatically increase the speed of your computer.

If you're computer is slower than normal, then you've likely got adware and spyware installed. These programs come in undetected, and they try and sell you things by spying on your web browsing habits. If you let them run around too long, your computer can quickly slow down to a halt.

In order to get rid of them, you should run a deep anti virus kit. There are plenty of these for free, but if you want a really good one, expect to spend twenty or thirty bucks. These will go a long way in keeping your computer free from the bugs that will keep it slow.

If your computer registry gets corrupted or broken, it can slow your computer down quite a bit. Your registry is a list of all the software that is operating on your computer. If you are like most people, then you add and remove quite a few programs. This can damage the registry, which can make your computer a lot slower.

In order to clean it up, you've got to get a registry cleaning program. Many times these come along with anti virus programs, so you can get a pretty good deal if you buy them both at the same time. That way you'll be able to kill two birds with on stone.

One way to speed up your system is to configure your start up menu. This is all the programs that launch when you start your computer. Only select the ones that you use regularly. The others will still be there, but they won't fire up unless you click on them.

These are a couple of easy tips that you can use to speed up your computer. Once you try these out, you'll feel like your computer is brand new again. And that is a good feeling.
