| I received a phone call from my daughter and she | | | | hard earned money on a new computer or spent it on |
| was telling me how her computer was running slow all | | | | a fix to make sure she knew what was wrong with it |
| the time. She said it used to run faster but now for | | | | to begin with otherwise the expenses could turn out to |
| some reason it is running slow. | | | | be outrageous by just guessing. So, she did as I said |
| The first thing that came to my mind was a virus | | | | and went to the link I provided her and did a free scan. |
| because if you have heard the news at all, there is a | | | | Can you imagine our surprise when all she had to do |
| virus going around that has affected over 9,000,000 | | | | was clear her cookies in Internet Explorer? All she had |
| computers. The virus hasn't been put into use yet by | | | | to do was: |
| its designers though, so that is a plus. I asked her if she | | | | 1. Go to Internet Explorer |
| has a virus scanner and she said yes and said it didn't | | | | 2. Go to Tools |
| show any problems, I also asked her about spyware | | | | 3. Go to Internet Options |
| and she didn't have any answers about that. I also | | | | 4. Go to Browsing History |
| asked her about her hardware, software, cookies and | | | | 5. Click Delete |
| etc but again she didn't have much information on | | | | 6. Delete Files |
| what she had on her computer or what she has done. | | | | 7. Delete Cookies |
| My daughter didn't see any way to make her | | | | Just by doing those 7 little steps she got her computer |
| computer run faster and was talking about purchasing | | | | running fast again and the best part it was all free. |
| a new computer even though the one she has wasn't | | | | Before you spend your had earned money get a free |
| that old. I told her to run a free scan that would tell her | | | | scan to let you know what the problem is you're |
| what the problem was as there could be just one or a | | | | having with your computer, otherwise, it could cost you |
| combination of many problems that adds up and | | | | a fortune to play a guessing game to fix the problem |
| makes a computer run slow. | | | | you're having. |
