Defragment it, delete your internets temporary files:cookies, history. Also run a virus check if you haven't in awhile.

Use a program called CC Cleaner. It cleans all the bad files and unorganized files on your computer.

CC Cleaner only deletes cookies and most recent temporary files, which is usually quite few. it's quite good to detect errors in the system though.

I recommend using Eraser. It deletes all temporary files definitely by rewriting over them and last time I used it my CPu's speed was doubled since it erased more than 30 Go of temp. Files!!
And it's completely free!!

the best way to boost your cpu is either to change it ^^ or to buy some specialised stuff for it. These kind of programs exist and work really well but they are not really known as most person change their CPU ...

buy RAM. very useful stuff, ram.
Used to know a really god site that checked ur PC's RAM and thne checked if you could fit any more ram in, then offered to sell you some that would work with your PC. But I forgot it. Not much use, am I? But look out for RAM chips, check the back of ur PC, and the instruction manual.

You could learn to use a programming tool like python.

Does this really belong in the programming section?

There are plenty of things you can do; check for viruses and spyware, defrag your computer, deep optimize it, delte unesessary running programs.

or to buy some specialised stuff for it


Most of the best programs are free.

You can check for virus, defragment your disk drive, run hard disk cleanup, delete unnecessary files/folder/programs etc.
I also believe someone else above me recommended CC Cleaner
Also if you use firefox get the Add-on betterprivacy and delete your LSO cookies
