re: PC very slow Thursday, April 6, 2006 at 2:27 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by nielson (266 messages posted) hello do you mean the internet cache? thats easy. in internet explorer go into the tools menu and clik on options. on that page there should be an option to delete all tempaory files. you should also delete cookies as well. i also would reccommend going onto www.download.com and searching for adaware, clickon the 1st result and download it. run this software through your computer for spyware (highly likely you have got quite a lot of it). also you should do a virus scan for viruses. this should speed your computer up heaps.
