Go into the Windows folder. Empty out the TEMP folder and the Temporary Internet Files folder. You should probably do that every so often, or browsing can begin to take a long time.

You might want to get some spyware scanners (Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware) to rid your computer or malware. CoolWebShredder is another good utility to have. And you'll want to Defrag your hard drive often.

Delete your C:\Windows\Prefetch
Once every couple of days for boot speed. |
