Try Ccleaner, run the Issues tool, then the Cleaner. Then click Tools -startup and uncheck everything like your office suite. Leave Windows and your security software plus anything you're not sure about. The programs will still be available from the Start menu.
Then restart the pc and see if that helped.

Use Add/remove Programs and get rid of everything you don't use.
Re-boot often and when finished, run all anti-malware tests again.
Then, upgrade your PC to 512MB RAM minimum.
Limit the number of TSR programs (beside the clock) to 12 or less.
TIP: Keep the number of Icons on the desktop to a minimum and avoid downloading fancy Windows fonts.
Super TIP: Re-install XP (with format) every 6 months to avoid slowdowns caused by adding and removing tons of programs.

click on start > run type msconfig. Press ok. Click on Startup tab. Uncheck names of those programs there that you do not need at startup. (These settings are reversible, if you uncheck something and later decide that it is necessary at startup; you can always come back and change the settings again.) Press Apply. Press close. Click on restart to reboot the computer. After reboot system configuration message window appears . Check the box that says do not display this again, and press ok to close the box.

open the case up and see if there is any dust accumulating.
Dust can cause the mother board to heat up and prevent to correct working of the heat sink on the processor.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
The PC will use less power, run cooler and should run a little bit faster.
You could also try adding more memory.

Hi there,
I recommend to clean up the register in order to improve your pc performances and get rid of malwares. A good program you can use is CCleaner http://bit.ly/1sW1R7L
It's a very good program and easy to use.
