Well, we need to know first how much RAM do you have. Number two you need to delete the temporarily files who were created while u surf. If you get rid of those files your computer will gain performance.
Try these out : cleanup (www.stevengould.org)
spybot (www.download.com)
After you run them, restart the computer and you will see a big difference in performance.
Have a great day !
