how do you mean slow as in speed or performance? what are your computer specs, what antivirus & antispyware programs are you using?

i dont think that's enough..get a couple of spyware and adware blockers. and the window firewall doesn't do much eaither...it's windows.

if your talking about those shitty programs that say 'speed up your pc by 50% now!!' etc then dont waste your time.

Instead check out the tweak sites and maybe overclock a little. also be sure ALL your drivers are up to date, not just graphics but agp, modem, motherboard etc

them speed up programs are totally useless believe me.
