So, I want to hack MY OWN computer.
I want to clear everything off of it and re-install everything.
It’s crashing.
The BIGGEST problem of all is that I hardly know anything about computers, and how to install anything.
I’m quite pathetic. Yes.
I’m tired if it crashing and freezing when I open MS Paint.
I keep pressing the tower button when it freezes for over 15 minutes at a time.
I know I’m damaging my computer, but what the hell can I do? (Sorry for the language.)
My brother refuses to clear it because he thinks he’ll have to clear it over again in the next 5 months.
He set up a password for everything I do.
I can’t really do anything.
If I clear it I’ll be in deep sh*t, but either way, if I crash it, I’ll still be in deep sh*t.
God.
Can anyone help at all?
I want to try to make it run faster and get rid of all the crap on here.
*NOTE: I might no be able to download anything from a website because it asks for the “Administrator Password”.

I’m slow, how do you do that?
Maybe you have too many programs running, your computer can’t take it…

It’s new… as in like bought.. last year I think?
My brother cleared it once before, because I crashed it so bad that even “System Restore” was no use.

I have a ton of pictures on here and a Sims game that doesn’t even save right…
How do I get rid of that?
uninstall the crap you don’t use. Use task manager to kill unnecessary processes.

*throws monitor at the wall*
I remembered when I installed the sims, I was on his account (he forgot to log out).
I can uninstall anything on here. It asks for the password.

Why is your brother so against helping you?

1. he’s unfriendly
2. I make computers slow
3. He’s just like that ALL the time.
4. I annoy him about it when he promises to clear it and doesn’t (after a month has passed.)
5. He ‘doesn’t feel like’ clearing it and re-installing about 3-4 programs.
6. I’m the “little sister.”
*sigh*
I think maybe this post was helpless after all.
If your PC seems like its slowing down and having a hard time surfing the web or just doesn’t seem right. If you think that you have a virus or bug. You need to clean it out first to find out what’s causing the problems. Here’s a few programs that I use regularly and they take very little time and skill to run.
You should go to http://download.com and get these programs.
AD WARE AND SPY WARE REMOVERS:
AD-Aware: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4.htm…
Spybot search and destroy: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search…
CCleaner: http://www.download.com/CCleaner/3000…
If you don’t have an Antivirus program you can use.
Avast: http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Ed…
or AVG: http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Viru…
and for your firewall a good program is
Zone Alarm: http://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm-Fir…
Install these programs and run them regularly. This will keep your system clean and running properly. These programs are free and Download.com is a part of CNET (the site that your posting on right now). Hope this helps :-)

Since I have AVG, and such, if I clicked on download, would it catch it, if it was spyware?
