Defragmenting will speed up your computer. You should do it at least once per month. (start-programs-accessories- system tools-disk defragmenter) As for the internet speed, it's very likely that you have hidden spyware programs that are stealing your connection speed. Download and install Spybot or any similar program and scan for spywares and other crap. You should also delete cookies and temporary internet files and start again fresh.

Download a free program called ccleaner. It is great, cleans registry and other unuseful stuff. Hope it helps(=

Its either an internet connection problem or you have to free up some memory in your PC. I suggest you visit speedtest.net to check your download speed. Just choose singapore; it is the standard, as what my developer cousin told me. That way, you'll know the upload and download speed of your internet connection. DSL is one of the fastest connection available, as compared to broadband, which is reliant on the signal. If you wanna go faster with your downloads, as you've mentioned in your replies in the posts, download an accelerator. Test drive it to make sure it really works for you. Other people may endorse this and that program, but it may not work well for you. So I suggest you just try them. Just have a restore point so you can restore your computer to an earlier state should anything go wrong (i.e; infected with a virus).

Um... in addition to what they mentioned Advanced system care. The Free version helps alot but I think the PRO version (which u have to buy) is better by 67-70%. hope this helps =]

I do a clear on my Laptop every Night I have the CCleaner and also the advance IOBIT that I use Every other Day I will defrag the Laptop and so far it is doing just fine

so if your internet surfing is really low and this is a problem that affect just internet sufing and not the general speed of your computer so you can clean your files and temp folder first..if there is no changing you can try to change your browser..normally the mozilla firefox for example is faster than ie for example...you can also try to fit your browser such as not adding too much add-on,bars.etc...if the problem persist you must check your connection speed may be upgrade,if possible in some zone,if you want a surfing faster than now!Lastly a solution that can be medium...you can install a software called internet accelerator..these kind of softwares normally improves the download of the pages during your surfing such as it will exclude images or graphics too much weight or script that affect too much your surfing...in some cases the result is a surfing faster but you will see a real few graphic controls or images in the webpages!!I cheked one in the past and it worked ok from this point of view!!

You should try the following steps: Delete Temporary Files using %temp%, temp, and prefetch in Run and delete Delete Browser details and cookies. Remove unwanted start up programs using msconfig in run command.

Maybe there is lots of rubbish in your computer.You can use tune-up to help you clean your computer and optimize your setup.Then you'll find your speed is fast as before.

If you over clock your CPU!

Try cleaning out the browser history, internet cashe, passwords etc at least once a week or month. Also delete any cookies or other things that will clog up your system. This will speed up your system performance. Perform maintance such as disc clean up defragmatation and chose selective start up to reduce the number of start-up progrms you have on your system. This will help with any problems you may be having. It'll greatly speed up your system and incress the speed in which windows appear. Check your connection, reset it by unplugging it from the power source for at least one minute. Then plug it back in. At the same time restart your computer this will do veiriturally the same thing for your DSL. It will help with performance. It will speed things up too. Also, try getting on different times. Depending on your area, there may be more net traffic then others and those with dsl usually experance slower speeds as a result. If you have filters check those are plugged in properly to ensure that there is no cross connection between you and the phone line. This causes slowing and sometimes dropped connections.
