Go to http://www.ianbrown.cc/blog/ for more powerful computer tips and tricks!

Here part 1 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.

  • im going to follow your steps sir coz i got only avg now i deleted norton and i have a question i have add aware 2008 spyware doctor and spyhunter but that s slowing my computer what do i have to do??

  • Uninstall Spyhunter, as it has a rating of 1 out of 5 on downloaddotcom. Then watch the above video (all four parts) and follow what it says. Second, install AVAST (see my video on "How to Speed Up Your Computer By Removing Viruses") or AntiVir (google it), as you need to have an antivirus program installed on your computer at all times. Before you do that, make sure you go into START>CONTROL PANEL>ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS & confirm that u have removed everything that's from Norton or Symantec

  • ..I use

    AVG 8.0 to scan and I have Spyware doctor protecting my computer and Norton on sometimes, is that good or bad?

  • It's great that you have both an antivirus program and anti-spyware program on your computer. However, you can only have one antivirus program on your computer at a time. Otherwise they conflict, which will slow your computer down and will make both programs ineffective (which means you won't be protected). So, between AVG and Norton, go with AVG. However, I would suggest Avast over AVG. Avast is also free.

  • Just watch my video, "How to speed up your computer by removing viruses" to see where to download Avast, how to install it, and how to run it. However, make sure that you uninstall ALL instances of both Norton and AVG FIRST. Go to Start > Control Panel, click add/remove programs, and then remove anything that says Symantec or Norton. Do the same for AVG. Good luck!
