So here is a rundown of what you need to do:

1. Clean out your Internet Browser first

This first task will go a long way in speeding up your computer along with your internet connection. Your internet browser is constantly saving files and little bits of data to help you browse the web. Over time, these files build up and slow your computer and internet speed. Fortunately, you can easily clean this out by deleting all the temporary files and cookies from your web browser. This will get things started and you will have a noticeable improvement in your computer's performance almost immediately.

After this, you will then need to disable any add-ons that you may have inadvertently installed on your web browser. These add-ons can definitely slow your computer and internet, and getting rid of them will make your web browsing experience improve in terms of speed.

2. Remove Clutter on your PC that is slowing it down

This is a task that you can complete relatively quickly, depending upon how much clutter has built up on your computer. The first thing you want to do for this task is to remove any unwanted programs or applications on your computer that you have no use for. Take care when doing this as you only want to remove programs that have no important use for your computer.

Next, there are a couple of simple things you can do to free up some storage space and improve your speed. One thing is you can cleanup your desktop. Your desktop should not be used for permanent storage, and organizing the files, shortcuts, and icons on your desktop can go a long way in improving your computer's speed, especially its boot-up speed. After you clean up your desktop, you should empty your recycle bin, which will free up even more space and improve performance.

3. Scan and Clean all the malware that your PC has

You may not think it, but there is a good chance that harmful files and software have infected your computer. If this is in fact true, then these harmful files could be a major culprit for the slow speed and performance of your computer. Luckily, there are a couple of easy things you can do to clean up all of these harmful files, known as malware. Mainly, you are going to want to run a deep virus scan, that scans your entire computer for malware. If you have Antivirus software on your computer, you can use it to accomplish this. If you do not have Antivirus software, you can use some of your computers built-in tools along with free software.

4. Follow the best practices to keep your computer clean

After you have finished cleaning your computer out, you are going to want to keep it that way, and you can do so by following some best practices.These best practices include installing an active Antivirus program on your computer, cleaning your computer's fan, and restarting your computer every now and then.
