Remove Computer Virus and other infectious programs- One of the most important reasons behind a slow computer is various kinds of infections. Infections in a computer can be of a virus, spyware, malware, adware, Trojan, logic bombs, worm etc. You might be victim of any one or all of them. Straightforward solution or answer for all these- is to use a good antivirus program, an anti spyware program etc. However a note of great importance is avoid using more than an antivirus and also do not use too many security related programs.

Uncheck Windows Startup items- Every single program you install in your PC it gets registered in windows startup list and gets loaded into memory while windows starts. You may simply uncheck all the unnecessary programs from being run or load into memory while windows boots.

Steps to uncheck startup items

Start->Run-> Type msconfig and press OK. When msconfig windows opens select startup tab and view the list. Uncheck all the programs that are not needed for windows startup. This really saves a lot of time of startup and increase overall performance of your PC.

Do not touch Anything- This may seems to be odd to think but yes, it is my personal opinion to leave your computer without doing anything at all i.e. do not perform any troubleshooting step for some time (say 15 days). If it also does not help you may go for some advance troubleshooting steps.
