How To Make Your Computer Run Faster

Most geeks make this more difficult than it needs to be. Perhaps to bill hours, they talk about all kinds of stuff-- downloading programs, running regedits, updating permissions, and changing keys. Whatever marginal gains can be accomplished are outweighed by the damage you can do to your system if you make a mistake.

Here is a simple step-by-step that will make your system go faster.

1. Unplug your modem for 15 seconds at the outlet and then plug it in again.
2. Remove spyware by running free programs such as Ad-Aware and Spybot.
2. From Start -> Programs -> Accessories --> System Tools, run the following programs in this order:

Disk Cleanup
Scan Disk
Disk Defragmenter

4. Reboot.

Your PC should be faster.
