If you are looking for a quick service to fix the slowness issue, then try (ccleaner).

Scan your temp files and delete them.  It has the ability to scan registry and fix you registry files also but this is optional (registry scanner).

In most cases performance is effected by temp file stored in your pc cache.

I recomend also to reduce the size of startup files. Type msgconfig in run. go to startup tab and un-check the software which you don't need on start up
