some programs you might want to install from Cnet.com
1) ccleaner
2) ncleaner
3) threat fire
4) firefox (thats what i am currently using
5) google chrome(install this if you don't want to install firefox
6)anything else you might find interesting there
note: Cnet is a free downloading website. it will not send you any malware what so ever. i find it super useful for my computer and you will too. good luck my friend and comment me on what you think of my ways. oh yeah one more thing. i got these off the windows.com website on how to optimize it. there are more facts on there you might want to consider. but i gave the main reason. just remember this will slightly boost your internet. the whole purpose of this is to boost the laptop and software installed on the laptop. DO NOT install any garbage software that will optimize your computer( unless off cnet) because they might have a virus. i haven't gone on anything else but then again why should i bother telling you that? you'll just go on it and get a virus. but mayby not. if not don't be a jerk by rubbing it in my face. so anyway good luck.
