I've been doing google search to see if there is such programs because I have heard about them. My computer is very slow and I dunno why, I have a few registry cleaners and spyware programs and an antivirus, I run them all everyday and my comp is still pretty slow, especially with IE.

Anyway, I found these 3 program thingys - http://www.tune-up.com/info/lp/tuneup-utilities/?ap=1689

Would these programs really speed up my comp?

Thanks:)

They may, it depends if they are legit or not. I think Google has a web accelerator or something too. If your computer is really slow after using this, just take it to a computer shop and see if they can find anything.

If you use Windows XP, ANY software that claims to "speed" up your system for you is lying (in particular, I mean memory optimizers). It doesn't work like that on XP.

Run away from the following websites:

WinFixer
WinAntiSpy
WinAntiVirus
WinSpy
(etc - anything win Win before it is probably that annoying, puny little scam which charges you to remove it)

afaik... there are no real programs to speed up your computer in a "real" way. they would be taking shortcuts that you may actually need in normal processing. the only way to speed up a computer is through its hardware, not software.

if your computer has become slow, you may have to get some professional to look at it if your other programs havent spotted any bugs.
