There is a free program on the web called cablenut. Study the instructions. This program tells you all the stuff about your connection that the cable company may not want you to know. Like honest connection information, not just what the company spits out to it's customers.

cable is you connection


has little to do with windows


you can have cable or dial up and be slow


it depends on the crap on your computer

In Internet explorer at top of window select tools - then delete browser history - then another box will open - select delete all- this will not remove your book marks -Then close explorer then open again .At first pages will be slow once and then will load fast after it loads 1 time.Also email etc you will have to sign in 1 time with pass word etc.


This will create new cookies.


Also go to start at bottom of on task bar.click start 1 time then select find or search depending on your operating system.Select all files and folders - then type in defrag and click search.When icons come up double click and new box will come up - select analyze then you will see how fragmented you are - then choose defrag.You can put this program on your desk top by right clicking on the icon you found in search for defrag.Right click choose create short cut.This will put a short cut on your desk top.Then you can use as needed in future.

Yes. Your computer is infected with spyware.





1. Get a good spyware cleaner. Scan and clean your drive.


2. Install (if you don't have one already) a good viruscan and keep it updated.


3. Install a good firewall program. Zonealarm is free.
if by ';running slow'; you mean the Internet connection, then go to broadband reports.com and take the tweak test and do what it recommends. Your tcp/ip by default is set up for dial up, and needs to be set for your broadband connection.
