I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but I do this every once and a while and it runs faster.

Right click on internet explorer. Go to properties. Hit delete cookies and delete files. I also hit clear history.

to defrag the computer first you need to shut down every program and only run windows. Close all internet pages, instant messaging programs, antivirus stuff. Everything but windows. Then go to start, programs, accessories, system tools, disk defragmenter. It might take a few hours so its best to do right before you go to bed. Also do whats mentioned above and clear your internet cookies. Beware tho this clears out all your passwords for forums so be sure you know all your passwords before doing this.

Yeah, make sure you don't have spyware or a virus, run the Anti programs spyware can slow computers down alot. If you need a anti virus, microsoft has a free one on their home page, best one i have had.

Defraging may help some, but I'm betting it won't help nearly as much as a good spyware/virus checker.

Right there it says "Brief Description
Windows Defender (Beta 2) is a free program that helps you stay productive by protecting your computer against pop-ups, slow performance and security threats caused by spyware and other potentially unwanted software.''

[dirtguy90]

this helps me when the internet's slow

cnrt alt delete

then along the top click processes and anything that seems like "WTF IS THAT?" than delete it, that gets my internet running
just don't delete like internet explorer or anything w/ too big of a memory usage

[rocco79]

so i downloaded that window defender program and ran it... it check 30,000 + files in like 3 mins and didnt find anything bad... Must be a "defrag" thing

[Michowski]

rocco make sure it does a full system scan. It should be done in under 10 minutes.

[rocco79]

ok... I also ran that ccleaner... It said it found a buch of files that needed to be fixed so i did that too...

[Mr. Tune]

google "adaware" it's made by lavasoft I beleive. I guarantee that program will find all kinds of stuff.
