Use several small disks 3-4GB instead of one big disk. Install Windows and certain software for special need at each disk, and plug them in when using.
Increase memory for imaging software and pdf
Run clean disk and defragment as often.
For internet disk and mainstream data, do these:
*Create 2 drives C, D and save on D the image of identical software with Norton Ghost and also contains data (documents, favorites…)
*Get external case for 2.5 HDD
*Run Windows with main hdd as external drive, then format C and copy D image to C as need.
*Get a fresh new windows operating system every few months to run faster. It takes about 20 minutes, and no worry about comands to repair.

Most likely, there isn't anything you can do. Spyware doctor and adaware don't make your computer run faster - all they do is get rid of, respectively, spyware and adware. It won't boost your RAM or processor speed. You need a hardware upgrade if you want a faster laptop.
"software only" solutions:
1. defragment your harddrive
2. delete any extra things you don't use anymore
these wont fix the problem, but they'll help a little bit.

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 SuperAntiSpyware weekly.
Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/...... . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run SuperAntiSpyware---http://www.snapfiles.com/get/SuperAntiSp...
Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place....
Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html....
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.
It's main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.

Now lets clean up your registry.

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 ever again.
