Marcie…

One of the ways to speed up your computer is to stop a lot of things to load and run when you start up your computer.

Click your start button on your task bar, then click “Run”. Type in… msconfig
Then hit OK. And a box will appear that says…System Configuration Utility.
The last two tabs are Services and Startup.
Click on Services….put a check in the box that says.. Hide all Microsoft services… then uncheck all the services except your antivirus software.
Then hit the Startup tab and uncheck all the boxes, except your antivirus software.
Click ok and restart your computer. It should now run faster.

There are a lot of programs that take over your computer…Norton and AOL are two of them…..I won’t go near them.
I use a free antivirus called AVG. it is at www.grisoft.com
I also use Firefox as my internet browser. It can be found at www.mozilla.org
