It won't slow your internet if you have low memory... it would make you feel that it is slow kasi mabagal magopen yung programs mo. 2.) It won't affect the internet also if you have a lot of programs installed but definitely will slow your pc down. 3.) Install as many avs as you want but it is unnecessary, be sure you have one AV software, atleast 2 -3 spyware, malware, adware removal software (Not all software has the same database so it is better to have different antispyware software installed). I have 3, ADware SE, Spybot Search and destroy and Spywareblaster. Of course, update your av and antispyware ones a week to daily. And scan your computer atleast ones a month. 4.) Install third party firewall or activate windows xp firewall. this will prevent hackers from getting in on your pc. especially a connection that is always on like smart bro-ken. 5.) Smart bro-ken has some slow connection days, so blame Smart for your slow connection 6.)I'm using AVG from grisoft and ok naman sya. Free or paid AV has no difference except for support and added features. Both kind of AVS can detect viruses well as long as you update them regularly. 7.) Formatting your computer won't help unless tinamaan ka ng trojan virus. 8.)CFosspeed said help smart bro-ken to speed up. Unfortunately its not free. 9.) TCPoptimizer will tweek your internet Hopefully, I gave some good tips 1.)

I'll do that next time. I totally forgot about the Disk Defrag. Hehe. Thanks for the advice. I’ll do that next time. I totally forgot about the Disk Defrag. Hehe.

Instead of uninstalling everything you don't use at the moment (you may need those applications you will be uninstalling in the future), just make sure they don't start themselves up when you boot up the PC (startup options can be configured in msconfig), so you could determine what is running or what isn't. Also, don't forget about disk defragmenter, it is a very useful tool that reorganizes files in your hard drive so that the computer would easily find what it is looking for. Maybe you'd like to do this on the unreformatted partition for better performance. :) I don’t actually think connection slowdowns are caused primarily by installed applications on a user’s PC, but they really are the cause of overall performance slowdowns on it, especially the ones running on background from startup.

Anyway, thanks for your comments.

I just don't see a direct relation. if it would've been caused by a browser issue, i'd be sold. just make sure you clear your browsers cache every now-and-then, it'll be fine; then you're just left with the inevitable "sluggish connection" bit. ciao. honestly, I don’t really get it #’s 1 and 4. how can installed applications affect an internet connection?
