Many problem on computer make it running slow in periode of time, here is some software that may help you to fix it.
MSConfig
For those who despair endlessly that their computer lags too much at
start up yet don’t know how to go about fixing that, taking a look
through MSConfig would be the place to start. Msconfig can by accessed
by hitting Windows-R, which brings up the “Run” dialog, and typing in
“msconfig”. Under the “Start Up” tab, there is a list of programs and
executables that are launched when the computer starts up.
Having a lot of programs that start up when the computer boots is one of the main reasons that boot times are so long, for most PC users. Thus, the remedy would be to go through the entire list and uncheck anything that is unnecessary to have on boot up. If there are any entries you are not sure about, be sure to check them thoroughly on the internet before messing with them, as unchecking the wrong entries could potentially mess up the functionality of some of your programs.
CCleaner
CCleaner stands for
“Crap Cleaner” and that is exactly what the program is great for. Over
time, temporary files bog down your system, and take up unnecessary
space in your harddrive. Thus, it is good PC maintenance practice to go
through your computer once every while, and delete all the temp files.
It is incredibly simple: just navigate to the Cleaner tab in
CCleaner, check everything you want to clean up (it would be best to
leave the “Advanced” section alone, unless you know what those entries
refer to), and then clean Analyze. You’ll then see an overview of what
CCleaner is about to clean up and delete, and how much space CCleaner
will free up for you. To permanently erase the temp files off your
computer, simply click “Run Cleaner,” and all those temp files will be
history.
Temp files aren’t the only junk files cluttering up your computer,
however. Broken registry keys also pose a huge problem when it comes to
useless files clogging up your system. Fortunately, CCleaner also has
the ability to keep your registry clean.
To do this, use the “Registry” tab in Ccleaner. Once again, select
all the entries you want CCleaner to prune, and let it do its thing. The
only difference between this type of maintenance and clearing temp
files is that if you accidentally delete a key that is still being used
by your system, your computer can begin to function strangely. With that
said, you should back up your registry settings before you give
CCleaner the go ahead to torch everything. When you click “Fix Selected
Issues” to delete the faulty registry entries, CCleaner will prompt you
to back up your registry, and you should always click ‘yes’.
Revo Uninstaller
Revo Uninstaller
is like the on-steroids version of your own Add and Remove Programs
option in the Control Panel, but it also scans your computer for any
files that the default uninstaller doesn’t catch, and deletes them.
Revo’s layout is pretty much exactly the same as the Add and Remove
Programs dialog, so it should be simple to navigate.
Revo also has a panel that lists all of the clean up tools that are
provided with Windows systems. This menu can be accessed by clicking the
Tools icon, and then the Windows Tools tab on the left.

Defraggler
So once you’ve cleared all of the unnecessary files from your
computer, there are now a bunch of holes where the data for those files
used to be. While this may seem like no big deal to most people, having
random gaps of empty space can also slow down your computer, because the
rest of your files are still splintered into many different pieces, and
the newly generated empty space isn’t being used efficiently. The more
pieces a file is split to, the longer it takes the computer to access
that file, so it makes sense to put all these pieces back together, once
space has been cleared up to store whole files.
Defraggler is one of
the best free defragmentation tools on the market. The visual
representation of the space on the computer as pieces of files are being
reunited is extremely enlightening, because most people don’t realize
the extent of file splintering on their systems.
But cleaning up your computer isn’t the only thing you can do to
optimize how fast your computer runs. Believe it or not, the programs
you choose to perform daily actions such as chatting, or opening PDFs,
can also affect your computer’s running speed.
