How To Sustain Astounding Computer Speeds

By Albert J. Swizer

One thing that is more fun than anything is buying something new. Something you've had your eye on for quite a while. Something that you can't wait to take home and start using. Computers are particularly fun to buy, especially if you haven't bought a new one in a year or so. They seem so clean, so responsive, and so fast. Compared to your old machine, you can surf the Internet at lightning speeds, and discover the entire Internet all over again.

But then something happens. Of course, a share of it is due to ever escalating tools, and web sites developing better content that requires more rapidly and more rapidly processors to handle, as well as more memory, but something else can happen as well. Over time, computers are liable to slow down, even when visiting the constant web sites over and over. A lot of individuals suppose that this is just par for the course, and factors into the decision to purchase a new computer. But does it really have to be that way?

One of the unlucky consequences about the enormous growth of the Internet, and all the astonishing content that is available at your finger tips, is that the development of not so gracious software is mounting just as fast, if not faster. Of course, this not so gracious software I'm talking about is spyware and adware. These two programs, while not destructive to your computer, have a very negative side effect. They can slow your computer down to a annoying crawl, and make even the simplest tasks excruciatingly slow.

How do you pick up these programs? There are many ways that developers have figured out to sneak them onto your computer. If you download some free software, for instance, it may very well have some spyware or adware that comes along for the ride. Some web sites will install tracking cookies, to memorize which web sites you materialize on over to. Some will even record your key strokes, supposedly to help you fill out online forms.

How do you know if you contain these on your computer? One way is to check your task manager if you are using windows. This will show you all the programs that are presently running, and if you see anything you don't recognize, then undoubtedly shut it down. Occasionally this doesn't work, and you need to use more radical measures.

The next step, in this case, is to acquire and run an anti spyware and adware program. This will do a thorough examination of your machine and uncover and take away all programs that don't belong. These programs have the useful effect of keeping new programs from being installed, as they do a really good job of protecting your computer. There are heaps to pick from, and their low price makes them massively affordable.
