    Well there are many reasons for the slow working of computer and internet:

    In order to make your computer run efficiently you need to do:

    Spyware and Adware removal

    Spyware, adware, & Malware are probably the number 1 reason for your computer slowing down.

    Virus Check & Removal

    Another major problem for computer slow down is virus infections. If you get these nasty little things on your computer then speed will suffer as they eat up your systems resources in order to play havoc in their own nasty way

    Clear Startup Group

    When you install programs many lodge themselves into your startup group, running in the background awaiting their call to duty, but most you don't need there, these also can slow down your computer by eating up precious resources.

    Run Defrag

    Adding and remove files from your computer will eventually make them fragmented, meaning they are scattered across your hard drive, this causes your computer to work harder when it uses them, slowing down over all performance. Running Defrag will fix this problem.

    Run Scandisk

    As you use your computer bad sectors and files or folders going missing can develop. Use Scandisk to resolve and repair these problems.

    Software

    Using software developed for such tasks can drastically reduce the time needed and the knowledge required that's needed to fix many speed issues on a computer.

    Clean desktop

    Run disk cleanup to clear files from the computer you no longer need, handy little program proved in XP.

    I can suggest you some of the softwares to speed up your system performance..........

    they are---->

    SystemSpeed

    Cache Speed Adware

    Cache Speed Homepageware

    Cache Speed

    SpeederXP

    SpeedItUp Extreme

    To speed up the internet connection I found the particular software to be the best:

    SpeedConnect Internet Accelerator v.7.5

    The fast, safe and easy way to optimize and speed up your internet connection.

    Software to optimize and speed up your existing internet connection. Works with Dial-Up Modem, DSL, Cable, Wireless and LAN internet connections.

    SpeedConnect Internet Accelerator is a Windows application designed to optimize and speed up your network connection and all your internet related activities. This translates into a faster internet connection, faster browsing and email, faster downloads, faster online gaming, improved Skype connection.

    Easy, safe and fast optimization of your existing internet connection.

    Also I tried system registry cleaner software of Iyogi tech and It was really up to the mark...........

    Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.pcboostcleaner.net/

    It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

    Above and beyond everything you can do with software to optimize the function of your computer, making sure you have the proper hardware to support Windows is critical.
