Slow pc

What type of PC and what OS?

Did this PC work well at some point?

'Cleaning' the PC can involve both uninstalling programs and services you don't need (which you can do very easily by yourself), possibly cleaning up the registry a bit (which may not be the real problem), and also attempting to go after malware and viruses.

If the PC is very much infected with viruses and spyware, then you need good anti-virus software to fix that problem, not a cleaner app.

If there are gobs of poorly written programs installed on the PC, those need to be deinstalled. If system-restore is working, going back to before those apps were installed is ideal.

In-between, the question would be if the hard drive or PC is malfunctioning or overheating, or if the drive is nearly full, those are other issues.

If all those issues have been resolved, then a 'cleaner program' might help a bit.

Hi

with everything menioned in robo_devs post in addition
try these
ccleaner to clean it
defraggler to defrag it

a little more detailed specs?
CPU type, memory size, mother board, etc
you could try uninstallling and sunning a "sfx /f" in command prompt
Installing more programs onto a slow pc shouldnt be done lightly.
(i find increasing your virtual memory to be a good fix when it seems too slow to uninstall)
Start menu>right click my computer>properties>advanced("advanced system settings" for win7)>under performance open the "settings" button>advanced>in the virtual memory option press "change" then enter a new amount.
Now you can go through uninstalling and disabling start up options (start menu>run?search"msconfig")

But you can get C Cleaner here

Just remove the space for a working URL if they actually post or stay on the site. The problem is that with all of the spam recently it's got difficult to post Links as the post gets deleted.

A great resource to download most popular software ranging from system utilities, dvd burning, media, etc. Been using the website for many years without a problem with the validity of the downloadable products.

I also recommend Spybot Search and Destroy which can also be found on Filehippo

In Windows XP/7 run Cleanmgr by pressing Winlogo key+r and type in cleanmgr hit enter.
Try not to erase the Recycle Bin on accident.

Did this happen just recently? If so, do you have auto update turned on? If auto update is turned on Microsoft has a problem with one of their updates. Once installed, this update cause the computer to run auto update constantly. It can run for 3 min. to 50, 60 or more min.. It will start again and it will use up all of your memory. It took me awhile to turn this thing off. Until Microsoft fixes the problem. I found the KB2618444 update was the problem and deleted it from my system. It working fine now. I use a program called System Explorer from Softonic.com to monitor running processes.
I hope this information will help you and any others that have the same problem.
