Computer issues... Well my computer has been really slow lately. I'm trying to download something and it says there's like, 10 hours left... My computer isn't even old at all, we got it last summer.
I deleted a bunch of stuff on it that I don't need, and even emptied the recycle bin, but it is still really slow.
Is there anything else I can try that would help make it faster?

There's a number of steps I try to speed up a computer, but to make it easy I'll shorten it to 2. First go to start, run and type:
msconfig
Go to the startup tab. UNcheck all the programs you don't use at least once a day. Make sure your security software is checked. Press ok, don't restart. Next download and install WindowsCare here:

and run it. Your computer should be faster.
If you have a slow internet connection, it will always take a long time to download, no matter what you do. Buy a better one if you don't like it. ]
