Boost Your Computer Speed: Valuable Tips
When you first buy your computer, it seems to be quite fast. But with the passage of time and advancement in technology most PC users complain that the performance of these machines keep on deteriorating slowly. So, if you're one of them, you needn't worry anymore because we're here to give you information on how to not only increases the speed of your computer but also how to improve the life of your desktop. There are basically two low cost solutions that can effectively speed up your machine. And the best part about these two methods is that you can do them yourself.
The first method is to add more RAM to your computer. RAM stands for Random Access Memory. Increasing the RAM could increase the speed of your computer. But this is dependant on your system's motherboard. For example, upgrading your computer from 128 megabytes to 256 megabytes or more can substantially increase its performance. The second solution to your problem would be to switch from IDE hard drives to SCSI. One of the reasons for slow functioning of a computer is the communications speed to and from your hard drives. And SCSI can help reduce this problem considerably.
However, if you don't want to spend any more money on your old computer and don't feel the need to upgrade it, then there are some other ways to increasing the speed of your computer at no cost. One method to a faster computer without spending any money would be to clean up your registry.
The registry is a main part of your computer's Operating System. With time, as you use Windows and install and uninstall programs, your registry will get congested. This is one of the reasons why your computer could slow down. So, if you can clean it up this problem can be solved. However, cleaning your registry off some software could do it more harm than good. If you're trying to clean up your registry for the first time, you could seriously damage it in the process. So, before you venture out to do this, you need to do some research on the Internet and visit some online forums that can help you out.
Another way to considerably speed up your computer is by disabling unnecessary applications. The Windows software in your computer would have installed many applications, most of them you normally wouldn't need. Sometimes too many active processes can reduce your computer's speed. So, when you disable some of them you increase your computer's speed. Also, disable unnecessary services that are used by Windows. Some of these services are set to automatically load on startup. Sometimes there are services that you don't even use. However, for this you'll need to do some research on which service you are going to disable, before you try and do it. Also, though you might not realize it, fonts can slow down your computer. So, getting rid of excess fonts can also be a solution. But to do it you'll need to download a freeware that will make the task easy. And also take care not to delete any system fonts in the process.
And last but not the least you could delete your history, temporary files and cookies. It's a very simple process. Go to Internet explorer and click on Tools Menu and then Internet Options. But, all these solutions come with a cautionary statement: when you delete or disable anything that you're not clear about, it's best to do a little background research or seek the advice of an expert before you do so.

Is there spyware and adware on your computer??
The Shocking Facts are that 85% to 90% of computers that are connected to the internet today are infected by some type of adware and spyware!- Source CNN
These malicious software programs Invade your privacy and send personal and private data to third parties and also take up hard drive space and slow down your PC.
Spyware tracks your on line internet browsing and surfing habits. It moniters each location you visit and what you have looked up on that site. Spyware programs can even track every keystroke you make on your keyboard and record every bit of data you add to a online form, such as name, location and credit card data when you make a purchase. This can lead to identity hijacking and theft of personal and private credit card information. Your PC surfing habits and personal and private information is then sold to third parties.
Adware is another kind of spyware. It doesn't work by tracking your information as spyware does, but what it can do is literally switch your browser settings without your permission. It can cause pop up ads to appear on your PC. A toolbar can also be installed on your computer without your knowledge. Most of us are unaware of the presence of adware programs installed on our computer untill it starts to slow down, crash, blue screen or programs stop working properly.
The spyware business is a billion dollar a year industry with people getting very rich selling the information they steal about you.
