Yeah, the same source wanting you to pay have detected all these 'severe' problems! You can ignore their prompts to pay! You can get your computer running smoothly & efficiently without parting with a nickle!
Ad-Aware SE Personal ~ [Free download at Download.com too]
"C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Personal\Ad-Aware.exe"
and also be sure to run both 'ccleaner' AND 'issues' sections from
http://www.ccleaner.com/
To insure results, also run your Defrag check & Disc Cleaner separately to insure you've discovered all your 'problems'!
Come back & geeve me 10!

Check download.com for a registry cleaner. There are several free ones available that will handle most of the things you have listed.
But none of those are normally major issues that would cause the PC to crash, lock or run slow. Try the following: (all for free)
1) Check for spyware. Run both Ad-aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and Skybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) to remove any spyware. Run both as one may caught something the other missing. Then go to microsoft.com and download Defender to protect against future infections. All three are free (no credit card needed)
2) Check that you have a least 10% of your hard drive free. Go to My Computer and right click on the Local Drive (C:). Look at the properties. If it has less that 10% free space, you will need to delete some files, or move them off the hard drive and on to a CD or DVD. Start by running the disk cleanup, which will remove temporary and other unneeded files. Go to Start, then All Programs, then System Tools and click the Disk Cleanup icon.
3) Run the msconfig utility. Go to Start, then Run and type in: msconfig
Go to the startup tab
You will see a list of all the programs that are loaded when your computer starts up. Uncheck any that you do not have to have. (Usually you can uncheck them all). If you decide you to need one, you can go back and recheck it.
4) Defrag the hard drive. Go into My Computer and right click on the Local Drive (C:). Select Properties and go into the Tools tab. Click the Defragment Now button to start the defrag program. If you have not defrag recently (or never) it may take several hours for the program to complete.

Have you tried a system restore to a time before all this started?

none of those things sound like a problem.
What symptom is your computer exhibiting?
(p.s. don't pay for anything... good free stuff out there)
