This tutorial will show you how to improve the speed of your computer with five easy steps.
You can defragment your computer using an absolutely free program JkDefrag. You can download the following program here. Make sure you read some crucial information on that page. A defragmentation improves the speed of your computer by freeing space on your Hard Drive so it will take less memory… I recommend using JkDefrag because it has a feature, the screensaver feature, this feature automatically starts defragmenting when you make JkDefrag as your screensaver. To know how to install it as a screensaver, go on the website, and it will teach you how to do so.
Notes on JkDefrag:
You can close the defragmentation safely at anytime.
If you see giant lines,
don't worry its normal.
Get an easy to use Anti-Virus. I recommend everyone to use AVG, You can download it here. It's completely free but if you want more features to be added you can buy a fully licensed version of AVG. This is the best Anti-Virus I know because it reacts when you open an infected file. And Make sure to update the virus definitions at least once a week if you want a good protection on your computer and if you want it to run faster than usual.
Often empty the Recycle Bin because “deleting” something makes it go to the Recycle Bin and it does not delete it from the Hard Drive.
Don't download stupid unnecessary programs, for example: the Smiley Central ads you see almost everyday while surfing on the net. Those programs are unnecessary and slows your computer down. It says adware free on their download site, but do you really trust them? Well you shouldn't because those programs are filled with adwares and It won't be good for the performance and speed of your computer.
Ad/Popup Blockers. By having an Ad/Popup Blocker will really help the performance and speed of your computer. You can download an add-on for FireFox called AdBlocker Plus it literally blocks every single ad you can imagine just right click the add and choose Block Frame or Image You can download it here. You need to have FireFox to use this program. If you still use Internet Explorer, It's time to change. FireFox has less bugs and has a lot of more features than Internet Explorer. I just made a test, I opened Internet Explorer and FireFox with the same homepage, Google
, and it showed 34.080K on memory usage for Internet Explorer and 30.612K memory usage for FireFox There is a big difference of it and it can improve your PC's speed.
