Your computer's tubes may be clogged or full.


It is not a big truck... it's a series of tubes. For proper performance you must clean and maintain your tubes. This is done by installing the latest versions of all microsoft DRM, and by installing a helpful application known as BonziBUDDY

Internet Explorer



Don't - don't - don't surf the web using Internet Explorer.

Seriously, this is one of the best pieces of advice you can get. It is slow and susceptible to almost all viruses, worms etc etc.

My advice is: try Firefox

It is free and you can use it in addition to IE so you can test it without risk. It is SIMPLER, SAFER, FASTER and far more modifyable than Internet Explorer.

There may be better browsers out there, but switching from IE to FF takes almost no learning effort at all and it really shows you the power of non-Microsoft software.

Give it a chance. It may take a week or two, but you probably will ask yourself why you ever put up with Internot Exploder.


Keep the good advice coming ppl :smile:

The number one reason people call tech support is their computer is too slow...and the number one reason for that is malware infections.

It isn't too hard to get rid of though! I'll try to make this easy, so even grandma could do it.

First thing is you need a virus program. If you don't have one I recommend Avast! AntiVirus, it's an excellent full-featured one and it's FREE. Can't beat that!

Next you have to manually clean your startup list, and do it in Safe Mode to make sure nothing is running that shouldn't be.

Reboot your computer and immediately start pressing F8 about once a second (if you see the starting windows screen, you've missed it - reboot and try again). You'll see a text screen of advanced startup options...press the up or down arrow to get to Safe Mode with Networking (so you can use the net) and press enter.

Log in normally (everything will look fucked up) and click Yes to any windows that pop up.

Goto Start>Run> type MSCONFIG and press enter. Click on the Startup tab along the top. This is your startup list. At most, you should have like 15 items checked off in this list. If you have many more, you probably have an infection.

Fire up your web browser and go to http://sysinfo.org/startuplist.php

This site has a list of over 14000 items that appear in peoples startup lists. It has the name that appears in your list (you can search for it), what it is/does, and whether you should keep it.

Go through your whole list and make sure only the things you want are checked. As I said, this should be less than 15 items...I like to keep mine below 10 (or 5 on slower machines).

When your done you can reboot and your all set! That should get rid of 98% or infections...Avast! should clear out another 1.9%...and then theres always the 0.1% that you have to watch for :wink:

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free.
But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
