3. Delete cookies every few weeks. Cookies are put on your computer by websites when you visit different websites. They make finding some websites easy but too many can make your computer run very slow. To find cookies you go to your Internet browser, click on Tools at the top, and then scroll down to Options. Then you will see one of the windows where you can click and delete the cookies.
4. Too many programs on your computer will also slow down your computer. Ask someone to show you how to find the remove program section in the control panel and delete programs never used.
5. Back up your data often. At least every week. You might even buy an external hard drive to back up your files.
