Answer 2

If you don't know what files you should be deleting, then first of all DO NOT delete anything just by using your best judgment. There are numerous programs and processes that look unimportant, but are truly vital to the correct operation of your system. To keep your computer fast, you should try to cut down on the amount of things running in the background, and try not to concentrate on the programs you have installed but are not running, since they have no effect on your computers day-to-day speed. To get rid of excess programs running, I would suggest two things. First, get Windows Defender from http://www.windows.com and in the Settings menu uncheck all programs that you don't want to Startup with under the Startup programs tab. Restart your computer, and you can get rid of that program. After that, make sure that you have a good antivirus program to make sure viruses don't slow you down, and get Spybot Search and Destroy here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

This is an antispyware program that works very well. Hope this speeds you up!
