A slow running computer is the result of two things. Hardware or software or both. Hardware: If you computer is less than any of the following you will be slow on the internet. CPU 800MHZ, RAM memory 256MB, 500MB free hard drive space, 56K modem. If you do meet these, it is time for and upgrade or replacement.

So I'll break it down to: Operating system, Antivirus and spyware programs, internet browser, loaded programs, internet provider software. Operating system: Linux, is the most efficiant but is not the easiest or most compatible OS choice for The average joe PC user. Windows XP and 2000 are What the majority are using. Antivirus and spyware: Norton and Mcafee antivirus are the top sellers and do a great job but they also slow down a computer in a big way. My antivirus of choice this year is computer associates etrust antivirus. Spyware programs are numerous. A very large amount of them are bogus. The best one i have used for several years now is Lavasofts Adaware. Internet browsers: Microsoft internet explorer(MSIE) is the most wideky used browser. It does a good job but is prone to a lot of pop up ads. Avoid adding pop up blockers and internet toolbars whenever possible(Google toolbar and blocker are okay so far). If you have them uninstall them. A second browser option is available and it is called Mozilla firefox. Loaded Programs: These are all the programs running in the background sucking up your memory and CPU usage.
