How To Speed Up Your Computer By Removing Spyware 4 of 4 - www.ianbrown.cc/blog

Go to http://www.ianbrown.cc/blog/ for more powerful computer tips and tricks! Here is the 4th and final part of my video on how to speed up your computer by removing spyware from your computer.

In the video, I forgot to mention at the end where we got Ccleaner. You can get that at download.com as well.

Also, I forgot to mention how to do a Windows Update. Although this does not always speed up your computer (it possibly can if there's a software conflict), I did mention that I would tell you how to do it.

Simply open up Internet Explorer, go to the TOOLS menu, and select Windows update. Then select Express. If it does not say Express and it asks you to install something first, then do so. I'll probably make a video about that sometime.

And I mentioned that I would show you how to install Firefox, but I will save that for another tutorial.

However it is similar to how I installed the anti-spyware programs in this video. It's actually easier. Just keep hitting next when you install it.

i have vista and its says that i dont have sufficient privilages

[ianbrowncc]

Right-click on the icon that you click on to launch the program and select "run as administrator". Then double-click on it like you normally do (normal left-click).

I did the chkdsk in Command Prompt(And I made sure I did it properly) but it said Access Denied. Why? I am using windows vista btw.

[ianbrowncc]

By default UAC (enabled by default in Vista) prevents you from running commands like CHKDSK from the command prompt. You would have to set admin privileges for it to work like XP does.

So go to Start and then start typing "command prompt" until the shortcut shows up in the search list. Then right click on it and choose "Run as Administrator". Choose to confirm or type in your password to elevate the process.

Then you can run chkdsk from the elevated command prompt without problems.

cmd? can i try it on personal computer? Thanks

[ianbrowncc]

Not sure what you mean by personal computer, but yes, any Windows XP and Windows Vista system has the ability to use the CMD function.

firefox fucks up my shit. I tried to use it a couple times and never installed any of the ad-ware accompanied with it and it still does same stuff and pop ups pop up on my desktop without it running. slows down my PC too, drastically I might add. Safari and Chrome are the two best browsers I have used. I only use explorer when safari needs to update or is not working, and it is way slower from all the gratuitous stuff running from it.

No, nod 32 av will not conflict with the anti-spyware programs. But if you want to continue to use nod 32, then do not install Avast anti-virus, which is another video that I did. Nod 32 will conflict with Avast, as you can not have two anti-virus progams installed on the same computer. It can hurt the system and neither of them will be able to do their job.

I had a eset nod 32 av, will not conflict if i use ad-aware, spybot & spywareblaster? I had a problem about pop ups, what do you recommend? Is Noadware a rogue program?... thanks!
