15 Ways to Improve Your Computer’s Performance

If you do not work for Microsoft, now is the time to ask why you continue to use Internet Explorer. Both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have equivalent features, and have historically performed at a higher level than Internet Explorer. Although your computer will see a storage hit to download the new application, most end users report an overall improvement in computer performance by making the switch from IE. Additionally, IE users are targeted more often than Chrome or Firefox users when it comes to malware authors, so there can be a net gain for security for the computer when making the switch.
