Clean Registry and Optimize PC
I’m not sure what maintentance you run, but ensure this is part of your routine:
Defrag your hard drive. This will greatly increase the speed and reliability of your operating system. Try Diskeeper 2009, its great and autiomatice so you never have to worry about it again. You can download 30-day trial-ware at http://www.diskeeper.com
Clean your registry. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, uninstalls etc. so this needs to be cleaned. This will optimize and remove redundant or unwanted items.
Delete any unused or unnecessary programs and files. These may be taking up space, memory and resources, thus slowing your computer. Also delete your cashe/ temp files, empty your recycle bin, clear your internet browsing history, etc.
How long since you defragged? Get rid of unwanted programs, run diskcleanup and defrag using a good program like Diskeeper. If your drive is severely fragmented or has less than 15% free space, just set it to automatic mode, it will defrag in the background without any conflict.

Disk Suite is an all-in-one hard-drive management utility that integrates disk optimization and cleanup, defrag and backup in one easy to use package. Disk Suite puts a range of tools at your fingertips to provide optimum system performance and improved stability and security.
Clean and Optimize
With Disk Suite you can safely Cleanup and Optimize your Windows® disks with a few simple mouse clicks. Disks can become bloated with temporary files, log files and other unnecessary data. The Cleanup and Optimize feature lets you safely remove unnecessary files and bloat from your PC without detailed knowledge of the Windows® file system. Removing bloat will not only make your PC perform better, but will also provide you with more free space to store your own files.
Disk Defrag
It’s a fact that fragmented drives drain critical system resources, compromise the ability to access your files efficiently and slow down Windows® start-up.
Defragmentation is one of the best methods of boosting system performance by optimizing the way files are arranged on the disk. By reorganizing the files using the disk defrag feature, the process of accessing those files becomes more efficient, creates a greater amount of free space on the hard drive and allows you to use that space more effectively.
The defrag feature provides you with a powerful defragmentation tool that supports both NTFS and FAT file systems. Different levels of defragmentation are provided in case you just need a quick defrag or you want to schedule a complete optimization of your disk.
Backup & Restore
The Backup feature allows you to make copies of your data that can be restored in the event that files become lost, damaged or corrupted. Taking regular backup is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure you don’t lose irreplaceable data and files such as photos, documents and other information.
The Backup feature in Disk Suite allows you to tailor the backup to meet your needs by selectively choosing the files to protect. It also allows you to restore files as needed, and verify your backup to ensure valuable data can be recovered as needed.
Diagnostics and Repair
Physical disk and file corruption is one of the main causes of data loss. The Repair feature allows you to actively monitor the health of your disk and file systems and where possible repair corruption and errors. It also allows you to schedule or directly run different types of disk integrity checks and identify future disk corruption so issues can be quickly discovered and resolved.
The repair feature performs integrity checks to check file system structure, surface scans to check for bad sectors and disk errors as well as repair hard drive problems. In addition the repair feature includes hard disk diagnostics and lets you review the information including the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) status of your hard drive (if supported).

probable cause for slow internet connection
1. too much system usage. huge programs that are installed or running on your computer that is way too large for your processor to handle. example: video editting programs, certain computer games, computer applications, etc.
2. history. temporary files, cache files and cookies. try deleting them..
> start menu
> run
> type %temp% enter
> delete as many files as you can in that folder.. (those are temporary files that has been stored in your computer over time)
there might be an error in the process of deleting those files. just dont delete the files that cannot be deleted.
> on the run program again, type: prefetch
> delete all files under prefetch
> empty recycle bin after
in your browser
> go to tools
> internet options
> clear cookies, cache files and history
> apply then ok
3. service provider.
you might want to consider also upgrading to a faster package. it depends on your internet service provider.
ooooo i love this one. Go and clean out you history. find internet options in the Control panels then got to all programs. click Accessories then go to system tools and select dick clean up. next repeat he 2 step but chose disc fragment. and it will run much better. you could also download spy wear teminater and run that to see if you have anything their. dont except goog tool bar or the other thing
Defraq the HDD
Download and run spybot
I don’t think the problem is all your computer. I don’t know what you use for a connection but i would complain to your internet provider. Maybe an upgrade to the service would help.
Try running the freeware utility called CCleaner

disk clean up
The very best thing is to save everything you need on that computer and reinstall windows again. No program in the world can make your computer faster then installing windows again. Yes its a drastic measure but it works the best. Remember to save all the files you need/want to a cd,dvd or another hard drive before doing this or you will loose all your files for good.
