disable services that aren't necessary. it usually the cause of slow PC performance, do you have an antivirus?

 

tuneup utilities is IMHO a good choice

 

+1 for tune up utilities. Try disabling some start up programs. Most of the time you have too many programs that launch on start up and will end up "clogging" your system and making it sluggish everytime you boot up.

If you have the money for a hardware upgrade, get an SSD

 

I can recommend you a set of programs that will significantly improve performance of your system, use them from time to time, and your OS will have a longer life:
Defraggler
CCleaner
RegistryBooster

 

First of all scan you PC good anti virus software and after then remove external data ,don't save any file for window drive ( C drive ) after then check your PC.

 

Use Ccleaner and clean your registry. Also, use some good Anti virus / Internet security to clean your PC.

 

maybe there is some kind of virus or trojan in your pc. install antivirus.

 

Firstly, to do a computer cleanup is to;

Download a Free trial of Malwarebytes: http://malwarebytes.org - Update and run 'Quick Scan'
-Reason for 'Quick Scan' it does System Files and directories, no need to do a full as most commonly, they're located there, if you want to do a 'Full Scan' by all means do so.

After that has completed and removed, don't reboot.

Download a Free trial of SuperANTISpyware: http://superantispyware.com

Update and Run scan. (Becareful, sometimes it likes to remove the Executable from extensions. - .exe) - May want to skip using this if you're cautios.

Download a Free trial of Kaspersky Anti-Virus (Not Suite): http://kaspersky.com
Update and run quick scan. (Might have to reboot to finish install)

After does it's scan, remove anything you need to and reboot.

Go through your 'Add/Remove' programs and remove any software you no longer use.

Lastly, Download CCleaner and Install it. http://piriform.com/ccleaner

Don't open it just yet.

Download, CCleaner Enhancer. http://download.cnet.com/CCEnhancer/3000-18512_4-75212385.html

This install's approx. 270 more apps for better cleaning.

Set the stuff you want to clean.

and clean it.

After that's all done, use the registry cleaner that's built in there and do a full scan.

remove everything. that you see, there is backup option.

After that's all done;

Goto, start >> run >> type: msconfig

On the 'General Tab' Select 'Selective Startup'.

Goto 'Startup', Uncheck everything you don't want to boot up;

Example:

Yahoo! Messenger
MSN Messenger
Java
Flash
Google Updater

Stuff like that...

Stuff you want to keep, If you're on wireless, make sure you keep your wireless services intact as well as printer spooler.


Hope that helps.

 

99% you've got some trojans, do what EastsideHosting said, Malwarebytes are really the best atm! Search for some good threads in the net for optimizing your windows after that.

 

If you're lazy you could always call a friend over to your house to help you with it then buy him a drink or something.

 

If your hardware are working properly, then you should check your anti virus. I think its a virus problem........!!
