DONT USE INTERNET EXPLORER!!! READ HERE.
This video explains how to speed up your computer for general internet surfing as well as programs such as Photoshop and streaming video and games.
I didnt have time to mention in the video, Dont use Internet Explorer!!!! Its very slow and allows adware and trojans into your computer making it even slower. Use Opera or Firefox. Both are much faster browsers and they dont have a huge corperate sponsor like Microsoft to pay them to leave backdoors for theyre little nasties to get in. Funny, but not a joke.

Also, I didnt get a chance to mention, Windows Firewall is crap. Turn it off, its not doing any good anyway. Get a good firewall like "Zone Alarm" or "Comodo" (Both Free) and run it with your "Avast! On access Scanner" thats included with the Avast! download (also free).

TIP: Never click the "Always Allow" or "Remember this setting" for your "Windows Installer" when Zone Alarm or Comodo asks. This would allow any program (including automatic virus installers) that wants to install itself to have full permission from your firewall to install itself. When your installing something, you can click "Allow" but the "Always Allow" setting is for things like your browser trying to get to the internet, your Avast!, maybe your Yahoo messenger, and things of that nature, only.

This will keep your computer very protected from almost anything other than cookies......As long as you keep them updated.....Dont forget to update your antivirus software. It doesnt do any good for you if it doesnt know what to protect you from. New virus definitions for Antivirus software come out all the time, sometimes daily. I recommend updating every few days, if you have to do it manually. Avast! will update its scanner automatically everyday.

  • Thanks so much...ive got a small laptop but this still helped ^_^ I barly had any RAM to begin with...

  • @firegirl2727 Your very welcome. BTW everyone, this works extremely well for the new miniature laptop NETBOOKS which are normally a single core 1.6-2.0MHZ processor and 1GB RAM.

  • And sorry again but thank for your respect im not here to spam mate :) I just wanna know more about what you said so :)

  • I understand completely, and Im just here to help those who are having problems, which you obviously are not, LOL. But I have two computers on vista, If you would try shutting down windows firewall and try "Comodo next to "Ävast! for just a couple of months, (just the firewall, not the rest of it, thats what avast is for) I think you would be very satisfied. Its kinda hard to get going at first, but you sound like you know what your talking about.....I doubt you would have any problems.

see all

  • Thanks for the advise I'm goin to give it a try . Thanks again

  • worked well!!!

  • :D Yeah i do know on what im talking dont worry and yes Comodo is really a good firewall too :)

  • Well for vista user his firewall is not that bad :D

  • And If you had made me mad, I would have just deleted your comments. I respect your opinion, LOL brainwashed or not......JK. But seriously, if your not cursing me or leave stupid spam, then Im always interested in what people have to say.

  • And again, Im only trying to explain that Microsofts Firewall, ANY MICROSOFT FIREWALL they put out, is selective. It IS going to let stuff through because people....rich people....pay for it. You wont get that from a good Non Windows firewall, and there are some good ones that protect just as good and better........And being able to surf where ever I want (porn or other) without worries is the whole point,...isnt it?...I decide what goes on my computer, not microsoft.....but thats my opinion.
