At the beginning couple reminders, always run Back Up before you install new
software, work with registry or do any other system tune-up activities. Also
remember that probably most effective way to improve your PC performance is by adding more RAM memory, and the best
way to do it is by visiting
Crucial.com.
The shortest and laziest way to improve your PC performance is to download
AVG,
Anti-Malware,
and
Advanced SystemCare Free.
Then run them in the order they appear here. They are literally one click
solutions, and running these three may make miracles, but for more thorough
tune-up follow the article.
1. Number one and most dangerous cause of computer slowing are Viruses

AVG, for Spyware removal try
SpyBot,

widely used Spyware removal tool -
Windows Defender. For more powerful and reliable system security solutions

2. Second step is to get
CCleaner.

Advanced tab =>
