Using a registry cleaner can clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some registry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".

Every time you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Registry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!

Your PC is probably infected with adware & spyware if:

* You have downloaded music online

* Your PC is running extremely slow

* You are pestered by those horrible popup ads

* Your homepage keeps changing

Don't let people invade your privacy and slow down your PC!

If so, then take a few moments to download anti-spyware software to get rid of spywares and get rid of adwares if your computer is infected.



Pasted from http://toptenantispyware.com

It sounds like you need to:



1. Boot your computer in safe mode

2. Go through and uninstall any software that you don't use/don't know what is (as long as it isn't System software)

3. Boot your computer normally

4. Stop any processes that don't need to be running (as long as they aren't System processes)

5. Navigate to the C Drive, right click & select Properties

6. Select Disk Cleanup & run that utility

7. Go to your Internet Properties & delete all cookies, temporary files, etc.

8. Run Disk Cleanup utility again

9. Repair/delete all Registry errors & temporary Registry entries

10. Empty your Recycle Bin

11. Run Disk Cleanup utility again

12. Optimize your TCP/IP settings

13. Assemble your own CAT5 Ethernet Cable & use a custom "5" or "6" configuration

14. Make sure you have a surge protector for your modem & that nothing else is using the modem's outlet (other than a router)

1. You can be using too much RAM, make sure you close all running programs that you don't need.



2. Try restarting your computer.



3. Try Disk Cleanup. Click on Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Cleanup.



4. Try defragmenting your disk. Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragmenter.



5. Scan PC for viruses or spyware.



6. Reinstall your operating system. You should have and operating system cd, system restore cd, or system recovery cd that has been shipped with your PC. Just, simply exit all programs running, Insert the CD inside, and restart windows. That should work.







As for youtube, update to the latest adobe flash player.

You probably have an ***-load of malicious spyware, adware, cookies, trackers,and etc on your hard drive. Either that or it's definitely a virus.



It might be possible to remove all of that crap off of your system using some virus/adware removing software, but if your dealing with a virus, then I hope you have a back-up CD because it's time to re-install windows.



Try your best to save any important files NOW before they are corrupted (like burning them to a CD or DVD, or a USB Flash Drive). Then reinstall your system.



Here's a free adware-removal program:

And here's a site that will scan your system completely for viruses:

Go to your task manager and close any processes that are not applicable to the system or the application you want to run. You have more than enough RAM, but some process or application is being a resource hog.

Is your computer running slow, or is your internet connection running slow. There is a big difference between the two.
