You can use NetBalancer to optimize the performance of your home networking. This is a good application for any computer who runs Windows XP, Vista or the latest Windows 7 operating system. Before starting NetBalancer, there is a pop-up screen that asks you to select a Windows version and then it shows you a list of all active programs and processes on your system and how much data each one uploaded and downloaded recently. For each entry in the list you may change the upload and download network priority; you may also choose between the default of High priority and the normal priority; you may also disable or enable certain programs such as Adobe Flash player.
As an example, NetBalancer will be very useful when you have a slow network connection as it allows you to set it so that the Internet connection for Windows will be faster. It also has a simple user interface which makes it easy to access and even more convenient to use. The first step to start this type of program is to download it. A pop-up window asks you to select a Windows version, but once you click on the download button, a folder appears on your desktop containing the file you want to download. Once the file has been downloaded, it will prompt you to save the file in a new folder in your hard drive. In order to do that, just click the Save button and then click on OK.
The NetBalancer is a simple program which is not difficult to use. To help you out, you can search the internet for helpful tutorials that will guide you through the installation process. If you have any doubts at all, you may check forums where there are many users that have already used NetBalancer to show you their experiences with the software.
