Just How To Accelerate Your Computer System

By Icabod Lucas Xavier


If you feel that your computer has been running slower and slower lately, then you've come to the right place. Many people believe in something called "processor creep," which mean that over time your computer will simply get slower and slower. Of course, this is a myth. There are simple steps you can do that will dramatically increase the speed of your computer.

One of them is spyware and adware. While not malicious in their intent, they don't want to destroy your computer or anything like they do slow it down quite a bit. They hog your resources, especially at start up. If left unchecked, these little programs can slow your computer down to a halt.

In order to safely remove all the spyware and adware on your computer, you've got to get some kind of anti spyware program. You can either buy one, or get one for free. While there are plenty of free ones, if you really want to make sure your system is clean of bugs, you should consider a paid program. You can set these up so they will automatically remove all the junk from your computer.

One thing that can slow your computer down is a broken or corrupted registry. The registry is a list of all the software that is operating on your computer. If you delete or remove any software without going through the recommended uninstall process, it can damage your registry, and this can in turn slow down your computer.

Cleaning up your registry is easy enough. All you need to do is get a registry cleaning program. Again, some of these are free, but most of them you need to pay for. Many programs come with both anti spyware and registry cleaners in them, so you can get both in one purchase.

One way to speed up your system is to configure your start up menu. This is all the programs that launch when you start your computer. Only select the ones that you use regularly. The others will still be there, but they won't fire up unless you click on them.

These simple tips will dramatically speed up your computer. And once that happens, you can back to enjoying things the way they were meant to be.
