1) You want to clean up your computer by detecting and removing any spyware. I would recommend ad-aware for a free spyware cleaner.
2) Disable windows indexing service. This will make your hard drive run faster at the cost of a little bit slower search when you do a windows search. To do this, open up "My Computer", Right Click on c:, Click properties, Uncheck "Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching", click ok.
3) Clean up your registry with a registry cleaner. I would recommend CC Cleaner if you want to use a good, free cleaner.
4) Run the windows disk defragment tool. If you haven't done this in awhile, I would suggest running it a few times.
5) Run a Virus check. A Virus will usually be pretty noticable, but there are virus's that try to run in the backround and stay hidden.
6) To help eliminate the risk of getting a virus. Get the latest version of firefox. It is the most secure web browser out right now.
7) Upgrading Memory: If your computer is still really slow after all of these tips, one last thing to try that is cheap is a memory upgrade. This is the best bang for the buck when it comes to speeding up an old computer.
