First you should clean up the cookies, internet history, and tempory internet files. Tpo do this right click on the desktop shortcut to internet explorer, than go to properties and there will be a clean up for the history, cookies and tempory internet files.
THan you should run a disk cleanup to get rid of any un necacarrey files on your compuuter. To do this click start, accessories, system tools, than disk clean up. Than select drice C to clean up and click ok.
Once that has finished defragment the computer. To do this click on start, programs, accessories, system tools than disk defragmentor. THan once it has opened click defragment. THis could take a long time.
To keep your computer runnung at it's optimum speed you should do this about once a month.
Also tio keep your computer going fast be shure to shut it down when you stop using at the end of each day, don't just go into standby or hibernate.

1. Use a antivirus, antispy to scan your computer. Clean them if found.
2. Defragment your hard disk
3. Don't install so many programs. Remove programs if they are unnesssary.
Good Luck

slow internet? or slow hard drive? if it's the internet then you just need to upgrade, if it's the hard drive then you might need to clean it out by deleting stuff you don't use that much
