    First, I'd reccomend running a deframentation using the defragment tool in your system tools folder under accessories. Also run a disc clean up which is in the same file as the defragment. The clean up will get rid of temporary downloads and cookies and can help your cpu run a bit faster. I personally don't use any programs from the internet casue it is hard to know which ones are legit and which are frauds or worse viruses. Check google for reviews of clean up programs and you should be able to find some that will help.

    Well there are actually programs that do the job, the only thing is that people dont know about that, to speed up your computer you might have to delete some services that you computer does not use, or delete obsolete programs that you dont want anymore some times those programs come with some other applications that might slow your computer.

    you could use this program, its a free registry cleaner, I use it and it works pretty good.

    Also do no forget to defragment your disk, and clean your computer from inside, and try to delete things that you dont use.

    Use this programs

    Spybot

    Adware

    Windows Defender

    This programs might actually speed up your computer.

    Those websites are often scams. They do very simple, routine maintence only and the results are lackluster at best. You can get the same results be simply running a free registry scan like CCleaner and defragging your hard drive. Don't expect performance miracles. Performance increases of 2% are exceptional for that kind of thing.

    There are a lot of programs that can speed up your computer. There is this program called CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/), it cleans all the junk files from your computer and speeds it up. I would also recommend defragmenting your hard drive, because that also speeds up your computer. I good free defragmenter I use is Auslogics Disk Defrag (http://download.cnet.com/Auslogics-Disk-Defrag/300... Goodluck! :D

  • you should do some research on your own here. There are several programs.

    I would reformat if you are concerned, there are programs but in the end reformatting is the best option. If you dont know how to do it then look it up online.

    you could use a registry mechanic, look this up to find out what it does.
