A clean computer is key to a faster computer. Run the 3 scans below.
Run a virus scan weekly.
Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

Run Spybot and Adaware weekly.
Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/... . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw...
Now lets clean up your registry.
Run RegScrubXP weekly. Run Cleanup every time you log off.
Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?d...
Safely cleans junk out of the Windows 2000/XP system registry. All changes made to the registry are fully restorable to it's original condition. You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.
Download CleanUp---http://www.stevengould.org/software/clea...
Free disk space, make your computer run better/faster and protect your privacy - all in one easy solution. All for free!
Now lets clean up your disk.
Run a Disk Cleanup 2 times a month. Run Disk Defrag. monthly.
Do a Disk Cleanup and Disk Defrag. You can find both of them by following the path below.
Start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Cleanup. Let it do its thing. You can check every box that has something to delete.
Now follow the same path and do a Disk Defrag. Again just let it do its thing.
Now lets tweak your connection.
If your speed is good I would not mess with it by trying to tweak it. If you do tweak once it is done you should not have to do it every again.
There are many programs out there to do this. I will give you 2 of them.
The first one is TCP Optimizer.
Description: The TCP Optimizer is a free, easy Windows program that provides an intuitive interface for tuning and optimizing your Internet connection. There is no installation required, just download and run.

After applying the suggestions above you will have a clean and faster computer. Enjoy.

In IE 7.0, you hit the tools>Internet options>delete all temporary files and etc.
Second, get a good registry program and clean up your register. I would not suggest you get a "free" one, because you get what you pay for. I would suggest the program from PCTOOlS.COM. You can get a trial copy to see if it works for you. I have it and trust it completely. It is called Registry Mechanic.
Third, defrangment your disk.
With these "clean up" programs you should notice a marked difference. My brother did.
God Bless You :)

Run a disk cleanup, the run a disk defragmentation. You may also want to run a check for any spyware. If you use your computer a lot, you may want to defragment at least once a week. Usually do this at night right before you go to bed, so it runs overnight since its a lengthy process.

if you didn't install any programs at all, then do a system restore to a date when you think your pc was responding quickly.
archive data files to a cd/dvd, limit what's stored in your hard drive.
do defrag at least twice a month. run registry clean up weekly.

The best place to start is by cleaning out all the ad-ware, spy-ware and viruses on your computer. Clean all your temporary stuff out. Clean up all of your unnecessary restore points (if your running XP)
and de-frag your hard drive.
You can perform all of these steps yourself or you can pay the local computer store between 100.00 and 150.00 to do it all for you.
