First thing you should do, scan for viruses and other malicious items. Second, check how many programs and stuff are running. Especially ones that run on startup.

Computers can run slow for many reasons but before looking for hardware causes or reinstalling your computer from scratch you might want to run through these steps first to eliminate some of the common causes of slow performance.
Check for and eliminate any malware (Spyware, virus’, trojans, rootkits…) download and scan your system with a quality spyware scanner such as malwarebytes, hijackthis, spybot, Ad-Aware) AND a quality virus scanner (they are NOT the same thing).

run MSCONFIG (from the run line) and check the “startup” tab, Remove the check box from programs you don’t need running on startup.
Run “Disk Cleanup” (from “start/programs/accessories/system tools/disk cleanup” and let it remove all the unnecessary junk that tends to pile up over time. A more thorough tool for cleaning disk clutter is “ccleaner” which you can download here – http://www.ccleaner.com/
Run a Disk Diagnostics (from “start/programs/accessories/system tools/disk Defragmenter”
Run a Disk Defrag (from “start/programs/accessories/system tools/disk Defragmenter” and let it defragment your drives.

1) Scan for viruses and spyware , I recommend AVG and Spybot. But dont run two AV programs at the same time.
2) Reduce the number of programs loading at startup. Have only the ones absolutely necessary.
3)Uninstall programs you may never need and also run a diskcleanup and chkdsk. CCleaner is a great diskcleanup program, its free.
4) Defragment. Check your HDD free space. The built in defragger needs atleast 15% free space. The best defragger I have tried is Diskeeper, it defrags in low free space. Whats more, it can be set to run in the background automatically. You can download the free 30 day trial version here-

5)Ensure that your PC has enough RAM, if not upgrade. 1 to 2GB is the bare minimum nowadays.
