My Daughter has a dell with xp...the pc runs real slow when starting and freezes when getting onto the net....but when she uses... messanger it's fine...but still can't surf. She has no antivirus and I can't get to a website to download one because the browser freezes. Whats the best course to take.
Why slow computer and freezes when on internet?matchless
There are lots of causes for a slow computer. If she doesn't have an antivirus, she probably doesn't have a firewall, or antispyware programs. IF she doesn't have any of these, then it's very likely her browser is hijacked by spyware or malware.
If this is the case, then it is most likely the reason she has a slow computer and cant surf the internet. If she uses Internet Explorer, then it is twice as likely it is hijacked. Try running antivirus antispyware programs on her comp and clean out the infections. good luck..

Get a macintosh; they're stable, since they were designed with stability in mind.
Other than that, just reinstall the operating system from scratch. You could uninstall various programs first to see if it helps, but once a machine is compromised, it's really the only way.
Working with a slow computer can be time consuming as programs/ applications take a long time to start. This problem is more pronounced in computers which have been used for 6 or more months. More information at http://fixit.in/slowcomputer.html
my old compaq w/xp does the same thing i run defrag and presto its back to normal running scandisk doesnt hurt either btw there is a program called END IT ALL that will shut down apps that r not essential if you r short on memory it will help speed things up
I have seen what teens use for wallpaper and screensavers. It's a wonder they can navigate at all. Graphics consume memory as they run in the background. I'll bet you will notice a difference just by losing the wallpaper and setting the screensaver to blank or none.
