In my experiance software that claims to speed up your computer really only bloats it up further, so the short answer is no. What I do when my computer gets stupidly slow is just delete my stuff and reinstall windows; it sounds like a drastic step but you'll be supprised how much this can help. Once you've done this I would recommend installing a good anti-spyware software and firewall to protect your computer from milicious software which slows it down. If you decide to do this theres a great piece of software called Mozy (its completely free, you can get it from www.mozy.com) which will copy all your documents/music/videos/internet explorer settings to the internet, and then download them back to your newly cleaned up PC - it makes reinstalling windows much more hassle-free.

Before you go investing in yet another bit of software, try some homemade remedies:
PC Running Slow, Hangs, Freezes:
- Many users are not aware of how much RAM is used by wallpaper and/or a screensaver full of graphics. They run in the background and consume memory. (I have only 512mb RAM, run multiple programs simultaneously, and have set my wallpaper and screensaver to blank.)
- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
-cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
-cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
-then cl Remove.
-This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.
-When you are working in a large file, save frequently to restore full memory access. (Your work remains in memory until you “save” it to disk.)
1.Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag
2.Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.
3.From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart
3.click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup
4.click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)
All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If this doesn’t help, you should consider getting more memory.

Yes and No.
Best way is to go through settings and optimise settings, so all this can be achieved manually; However, the Software that does all this for you, the Optimisers, usually cost a bit, so I guess its a matter of choice... DIY or pay for the automated mechanic
