Try Running MMH CLEANER also.

Oh... suz... I forgot. After you have downloaded what you need to download, unplug your computer from the internet since it could spread the malware to other computers if it is connected.

Hey Girl: Cleaning up the registry is an idea, but you need to know what you are doing. Also, you do not mention what OS you are using. XP offers options not available in 98SE and so on. So... I'll assume it is XP since it is the most common. This i9s good for both Home and Pro:
1)Do an assesment of what you have. How big is your harddrive and how much free space you have. Windows needs a Swap File, free space to do its thing, and if that space is too small, i'll run slow. Soooo... See what programs you do not use and uninstall them.
2)Once unistalled, right click on your drive(s), go to tools and delete unused files(there is a button that says clean up, or something or other).
3)Then do a defragmentation(also in tools). Windows uses space in a first found first used basis, even if the needed space is smaller than the file it is storing. If it is so, Windoze will "Fragment" the file in as many pieces it needs, and then when it needs to read them it wastes time looking all over the drive for the fragments.
The defrag tool included in Windoze is not very good and problems have been reported with it, so I sugest you splurge $40 on a good defrag utility(Disk keeper is good).
4)Run a Virus scan.(there is a good Antivirus prog called AVGFree. It is free and it updates itself daily).
5)Download SpyBot search and destroy, Ad Aware Se from Lavasoft(Google them) and do a whole sysyem scan for and delete any problems.(Free downloads)
6)If you are running XP you should have A MINIMUM of 528 MB of memory.
Do these steps religiously, remembering to keep you antivirus, spybot and ad aware definitions up to date.
7) Go to Zonelabs and download the free version of Zonealarm, a firewall.
8)Learn how to use it.
9)Download and use Firefox, from www.mozilla.org and ditch Internet Explorer
Steps 7,8 and 9 will not speed up your computer but they will help you stay clean from spyware and virus problems.
If this is no good and you still are running slow, get your Windoze CD rom and reinstall, and this time, keep your computer clean.
(For a good read on spyware, go to the local bookstore and sit for a spell and read a mag called CPU, Sept.Issue)
