I have recently purchased a notebook which has Windows 8 installed. To start with, the first couple of weeks, it was extremely fast at its processing and loading pages, but now it has slowed down considerably. What can I do to speed it up please? I have MS Security Essentials and Lavasoft running, no Nortons, and I have set my computer to delete all temp files on shut down. Is there a freebie that can speed it up, or what do you suggest.
Thanks
Internet temp files for sites you visit all the time are a good thing which helps make pages load faster;)
Thanks Steve, your comments make sense, but I was always told to delete them so that is the way I set them. Will give it a go without deleting.
Cheers
Both of those are scanning web pages. Might consider disabling Lavasoft and see if that makes any difference.Quote:

Once a week or, I clean out the Internet temp files. And the fact Windows does not clean it out worth a hoot, I use TFC

Would not be surprised if it found a couple gig of garbage on your laptop.
Is this Ad-Aware by Lavasoft that you're running??
It's not Ad-Aware, it's TFC as he said in his post--go to that link.Quote:
No. He means from the first post. If that is Ad-Aware, I would just uninstall it. It has long since past its prime.Quote:

Ad-Aware
2 antivirus programs, probably fighting each other, surprised it even boots up.Quote:

I agree with Midknyte, uninstall it.
Yeah, that's where I was going. IMO, Ad-Aware has NO value what so ever...
